I was getting 20 dB when trained at 640 and 27 dB when trained at 256. I can get an additional 7 dB if I go straight to the dmarc (sp?) and skip all the internal wiring in the house. It is irrelavent now, I just went live with a 1.5Mbps/384 Kbps line from Concentric/Covad. It rocks. I easily pull 120 KB/s from the good sites.
