Are the SNR and attenuation values too less? :? I have recently seen people's screenshots showing quite high values...like 30 dB and like that.. :?

Line Attentuation(Upstream) 27.5 dB

Attenuation should be as low as possible. so its good in your case.
SNR should be as high as possible. (at least above 10 dB). contact BSNL.

No, just curious.

That's good news.

That's bad news. Though I have no such connectivity problems. :-?

it might be possible that u n ur neighbor's wifi are running on the same channel .... this might be causing interference and lowering of ur SNR n attenuation values ....

wireless network configuration, change the broadcast frequency, then your wifi will be in a different channel than your neighbor
