These statistics will be of interest to your technical support representative if you are having problems obtaining or maintaining a connection. Table 2-2 explains these statistics. Table 2-2. Statistics Fields Field Description Line Rate Average data rates. Attainable Line Rate The maximum attainable line rates. Typically, the downstream speed is faster than the upstream speed. Noise Margin This is the signal-to-noise ratio and is a measure of the quality of the signal on the line. The higher the margin, the better the quality. Line Attenuation The line attenuation will increase the further you are physically located from your ISP’s facilities. Output Power Indicates the strength of the upstream and downstream signals. Clicking the More Information link provides more details about the quality of the traffic sent and received, which also may be of interest to your technical support representative if you are having problems obtaining or maintaining a connection.
