   These are my numbers - the last time I checked (which was probably a few   
   months ago)   
      
   SNR Margin (dB):        13.3   12.0   
   Attenuation (dB):       25.0   13.0   
   Output Power (dBm):     11.9   19.7   
   Attainable Rate (Kbps):	9088   1116   
   Rate (Kbps):            7040   800   
      
   I'm about 1/3 of a mile (1850 feet) as-the-crow-flies from where I'm   
   reasonably sure my dslam is.   
      
   According a mapping program, if I follow the likely street path of where   
   the phone lines are burried, I get a distance of about .7 mile (3,700   
   feet).   
      
   My upload speed never exceeds 666 - 670 kbps.  My download speed is   
   about 6016 kbps at best.
