I believe you may have viewed the charts wrong. There should be no misrepresentation between the two chart claims.

5,280 ft or 5.3Kft = 1.6km

No, I didn't misread the charts. The DSL forum chart had both feet and meters on the x-axis. I actually know the difference, believe it or not.

Each show the same drop off rate in Mb/s and ultimately reach ~10-15Mb/s at around 1.6km

I submit that it is you who is reading the charts incorrectly. The DSL forum chart clearly shows VDSL2 dropping off to about 25Mbps at 1.6km, not 10 - 15. However, that was not my point. I was referring to the maximum throughput. The DSL forum chart lists the maximum throughput as well over 200 Mbps, but the Rim chart has it at 100 Mbps. The rest of the chart was similarly skewed.
