To hijack this thread a bit (your stats looks really nice to me)
I have today been moved over to ADSL2+ WBC. During the process I noticed my attenuation dropped from 43 to 41dB and my SNR improved slightly too. Once connected via ADSL2+ rather than G.DMT the attenuation increased as expected to 45dB. I am a little disappointed at the speed increase. I have gained less than 1meg.
Router: Netgear DG834GT DGTeam Firmware (March 2010)
ADSL Nation face plate (tried 2 and directly in to test socket, no ring wire or extensions, read the same on all)
Forcing an SNR target of 5-6dB via telnet as my line tries to target 15dB

I know my line is not great, but when I first got adslmax in 2008 I was getting 6496 kbps. I changed replaced my router with no change in stats. Reading that I have done suggests that I could possibly be hitting about 7.5-8meg or is this as good as it gets?
