Re: connection issues

what should the noise margins be on an ideal system?

I'm not a tech expert on this but from experience, 6db is minimal to even get a sync. 7-9 is borderline to hold sync. 10 is fair, and anything above that should not be a concern. I would not accept anything less than 10 from my ISP. This also has to be consider in context with other things such as attenuation, etc.

If I recall from your logs you had a -2.0 show up at least once, which I don't understand.

Yes! Those 15.9 16.0 numbers look very respectable now. I'm not sure it was the heavy gauge wire itself, but rather 'clean' copper. I'm sure you will be happy with the difference. Everything else looks very good. Well done.

Did you also notice your max. rate came up to 8128 solid across the board? Those are respectable numbers.
