Yes, possibly exceeding expectations

i thought my noise margin was quite low? thinking the target was around 7??

It is perfectly fine and nothing to worry about at all

On standard settings that's about as good as it gets. There certainly doesn't seem to be any problem.

If the line is more stable than the average then there could be scope for squeezing another Mbps out of it. I don't know the best way of going about that on a Sky connection, sorry.

great, if you guys are happy then so shall i be

The "target" is the sync-time setting. After the sync is achieved the margin can vary by several dB. That's why it is set wel above zero, so that if it falls a few you don't lose connection.

I have a longer explanation on this page.

ah...ok, the sky techy that i spoke to over the phone was surprised of my line speed however i just wanted a second opinion on if it was (FLAT OUT)

Hi,

Lucky you, with that sync speed, my long line is slightly lower attenuation at 51db with 6db SNR and I struggle to get 4mb! So yours is excellent in my book.

Hi
