Re: [DSL] Embarq Modems said by McSummation:1) What is the make and model of the modem you have? 2) Can you post statistics from the modem that shows SNR, allowed speed, etc.? 3) Try a speed test from » helpme.att.net/dsl/speedtest/ and pick the Dallas site. The sites you picked were all too far away to be reliable. 1.Zyxel EQ660R
2. Not sure EXACTLY what you need to know but I can try and post anything you need. Heres some stuff I found from modem diagnostics.
Upstream Noise Margin
noise margin upstream: 1 db
output power downstream: 20 db
attenuation upstream: 31 db
Downstream Noise Margin
noise margin downstream: 24 db
output power upstream: 12 db
attenuation downstream: 49 db
3. I ran the speed test. The little arrow points to 128K. We are supposed to get 512K but I know we can because we are so far out of town.

• For 3 Mbps DSL the Downstream Attenuation must be under 48 dB with 10 dB SNR or better.
• For 6 Mbps DSL the Downstream Attenuation must be under 38 dB with 10-12 dB SNR or better.
What is missing is your Sync Rates.
There will the WAN Stats that show Upstream and Downstream Sync Rates in Kbps, possibly in a pop up window after clicking a button for WAN Statistics.

Downstream Speed: 571 kbps Right now you are on the 0.5 Mbps Service aka 571/287 Sync Rate that should usually show 512/256 speed test results.
I would call in and asked to be placed on the 1.5 Mbps service and see what the Downstream SNR stabilizes at. The Attenuation should remain the same as it is a measurement of the lines electrical distance.
