| Just log into your modem. If you have a Westell, the IP should be 192.168.1.1 . If you have one of the newer Verizon branded modems or one of the slim ones, I'm not familiar with them too much but you can certainly find info for them.
Once you're in the modem, find the DSL Transceiver Stats and post them up. They'll be under a status or Diagnostics category in the nav. |

| Close to marginal. A margin of 9.5 and FastPath will leave very little room for change. A margin of 6db is usually where DSL starts to crap out. I wouldn't go for it unless you want to reduce the speed of the line (throughput) or risk a disconect. |
