Chicken - look at his sync speed:

I have a 'downstream' speed as quoted in the router's pages of 20792 Kbitsps and an 'upstream' of 1024Kbitsps.
The downstream line attenuation is pretty constant at 12db and the downstream noise margin is 9db. The upstream line attenuation varies between 2.5 and 5db, whilst the upsteam noise margin varies between 5 and 9db. Does that sound ok ?

This guy's line rocks, could do full 24.5M.

I have no explanation for you ulmo, you should be able to download and speed test upwards of 16Mbps let along less than 1Mbps.
