I would start by making sure your friend has done all they can to ensure their own internal wiring is not causing issues.

With that attenuation the noise margin should be higher for that speed (and as DLM progresses the speed ought to increase but there isn't the spare margin at the moment to do that).

So, on current noise margin probably won't see anything much more than currently has. If the wiring is improved then could possibly get much more.
