	=== Speed (Rate) ===		== Speed (Rate) ==
	Download speed (measured as Mbps, Mb/s, kbps, kb/s) is faster than upload speed. You can confirm this number by doing a [[~~DSL speed~~#How_to_do_a_speed_test\|speed test]].

	=== Attenuation ===		== Attenuation ==
	Attenuation is a measure (in dB) of how far (cable length, not line-of-sight) you are from the Bell equipment (DSLAM). Note that '''Lower is better''' as it indicates a shorter cable length.

	=== Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR or Noise Margin) ===		== Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR or Noise Margin) ==
	Signal-to-Noise Ratio is a measure (in dB) of how much electrical noise exists on your line. Too much noise (low SNR) can affect DSL signal. '''Higher is better''' as it means you have more signal than noise.		Signal-to-Noise Ratio is a measure (in dB) of how much electrical noise exists on your line.

	=== Errors ===		== Errors ==
	The error figures are an indication of how many packets had to be re-transmitted because they contained an error and may be caused by line noise. Error counts are cumulative since the time DSL sync was last obtained. To reset the error counts, do a software restart of your modem, or power cycle your modem, or disconnect your DSL line for a minute or two.

To reset the error counts, do a software restart of your modem, or power cycle your modem, or disconnect your DSL line for a minute or two.

	The significance of error counts is unclear and may be meaningless. Some modems may misreport errors and even with errors, your service may be fine.
