DS Margin = 1

This is unacceptably low, you really need this to be 6 or higher to keep a stable connection, at the moment someone farting near your phone line will take you offline.

Good show though for a 3.3km or so long line, they need to drop your speed down.

It gets worse at 6 due to more RF interference, more people using their ADSL, switching lights on, etc.
