Leaving your (magnanimous or faint?) praise in for my own satisfaction - I took a look at the DSLReports thread to see what I would have said to that OP.

I would have noted that the uncorrectables were only 4/100 % (.0004) of the total codewords and would not have considered that worth mentioning other than to say just that.

I would have picked up on the 32 dB SNR for 256QAM and asked to see the event log in order to see what was going on for correlation purposes.

At that stage I would have had little doubt that SNR was stunting the download speed. I would have been puzzled at the low correctabhles count because my knowledge of what goes on further up the network in terms of downstream error correction is nil. Might have said as much - dunno.
