. . . seems im stuck at 38Mbps instead of the new rate of 43Mbps
Ignoring the ISP/CP's advertisements, upon which underlying Openreach product is your service provisioned? 80/20 Mbps, 55/10 Mbps or 40/10 Mbps?
Next, what information is returned by a
xdslctl info --show command?
As an example, here follows what I see for my own circuit --

In particular, look at the "
Max:", "
Bearer: 0," and "
SNR (dB):" lines. From those lines you should be able to deduce that my service is using the Openreach 40/10 Mbps product and, although my ISP/CP tries to induce me to move to the Openreach 80/20 Mbps product (at a greater cost), there is not sufficient "headroom" for me to benefit from that change.
Look at those three lines, reported by your ZyXEL VMG8924-B10A, for your own circuit. Do they hint of any "headroom"? If the answer is "no", then that "new rate" of 43 Mbps is just vapourware.
