You dont know what route your line takes back to the exchange. Line attenuation is based on legth and not noise.

Line Attenuation.
Line attention is in relation to the "loop loss" on your line.
The further you are away from the exchange the higher your attenuation figure will be as the signal loss increases.
The lower your attenuation figure the more chance you have of getting the faster speeds.
