low line attenuation is good means there is very little noise on the line, its SNR that you want to be nice and high. looking at that i'd guess about 4-5Mbp atleast with adslmax.

with the attenuation like that id say you were in the exchange

or very very close and more than likely you will get the full 8mb

Attenuation is a measure of how much of the signal is getting to your house from the exchange. Therefore, the lower the attenuation, the stronger the signal. The SNR is a measure of how much of that signal is actually usable so of course, a higher SNR is better.

See the FAQ, for one.
