At only 1dB attenuation, it isn't so much the line being "great" as it is there not being much of a line to speak of in the first place: at ~18dB/km@1.5MHz, that puts the remote under 60m from his modem. You would have to use "creative sabotage", not merely sub-par wiring to ruin stats without affecting attenuation over such a short distance.
