DSL Let's take a look at SNR Margin Tweaks: The command to be used is > xdslctl configure --snr {value}  N Change in target noise margin (dB) 200 + 6dB 150 + 3dB 100 + 0dB 50 - 3dB 25 - 4.5db 1 - 5.5dB 65500 - 9 dB 65450 - 12 dB where {value} can be as shown in the table above taken from http://www.kitz.co.uk/routers/dg834GT_targetsnr.htm such that if more stable connection is desired, 150 or 200 should be used and if faster connection/sync is required at cost of stability, 50 or 25 could be used! Note that for PTCL, there is no max speed package as of today,
