How can I tell what speed my line will support using the Attenuation?

Attenuation should be under 60 for all speed profiles. Attenuation takes into account distance from the Central Office and resistance on the line based on the amount of bandwidth being pushed down the cable pair. There is no specific attenuation for each different speed.

got feedback?
