Margin (dB) - Signal to noise margin. 6 is pretty bad possibly unusable at times, 20 is very good. You normally want 12dB or better IIRC from back in my DSL days. The higher the number, the better to a point.

Line Attenuation - Measure the amount the signal has degraded. Below 20dB is excellent, above 50 is poor, fill in the dots for anything in between.

#1 Did you try connecting your modem directly to the NID?

#2 If not, please do and retest those margins and Line Attenuation.

Call repair & ask for a home run to be done. If you're new to DSL or have the inside wire package..it's free most of the time.Smiley Tongue
