Yep, those last figures are garbage! :¬)

With that attenuation (line length/quality) you wouldn't be able to get broadband. My old Understanding Broadband page may help - needs some updating for ADSL2+ but the principles are all the same.

It's always good to know roughly what your ADSL line 'looks like' so if things go pear shaped you have some sort of reference -
Sync (connection speed)
Attenuation (Line length/quality)
SNRM (Signal to Noise Ratio Margin)

Your router stats won't be correct - often this is down to a firmware bug - have you checked to see if you are on the latest firmware?

I take it you aren't familiar with your 'normal' router stats?

*BT/Openreach vans*
Everytime I see one I say "there goes my broadband" - guaranteed to get a groan from my kids!
