adsl stats

[acantril]

Ok im confused. Just got a dsl line, im 140 meters from the exchange. Synced at 8192 and its rock solid, line stats are

Down Up
SNR (dB): 8.0 25.0
Attn(dB): 5.5 1.0
Pwr(dBm): 7.8 12.7
Max(Kbps): 8928 1156
Rate (Kbps): 8128 448


What im confused about is, posts say that Attn = the lower the better, and SNR = the higher the better and anything below 10 is bad...

SO why is it, my line is rock solid and high speed and its reporting 8 for SNR.. which is bad ? right ?

actually ignore this, ive found elsewhere with ADSLmax the target SNR is always 6... if it goes lower thats when sync speed is reduced.
