O2 Wireless box II - where can I check my line details?

With an attenuation of 45dB gives you a line length in the region of 3-3.5km from the exchange. Obviously this distance could be less, and the high attenuation caused by the age and quality of the copper wire, or if any sections have been replaced with aluminium cable.

Realistically you should see a sync of around 7000kbps, so you are lucky to be getting anything above that. Personally I would settle for 7000kbps with a 6dB SNR, and a more stable connection.

Thanks for your advise. Yeah it seems very solid at its current rate so I am happy as it is. Just wondering why it changed.

During the day your SNR will vary, it will usually be at its highest early in the day when most people are out as there will be less interference from electrical equipment.

My guess would be that your line was holding a high sync with low SNR, and sometime in the evening / overnight the SNR has dropped to low causing your router to re-sync. When it re-sync'd this would be at a lower rate so as to increase your SNR.
