Here is what most of all that stuff means..

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.

Transmit Power - The higher the number, the more power is required to transmit. This number will vary based on the other numbers.

No idea. Where do I find that out?

Ok, this is getting ridiculous. Not only was my connection droping every 15 seconds last night, but now my connection is constantly dropping during the day. I am getting no more than 2 or 3 minutes worth of connectivity before it drops. Rebooting does nothing.

Dial-up was more reliable than this.

For example if on Windows XP.

#1 Go to Start -> Run.

#2 Type in cmd and press enter.

#3 In the new window, called the command prompt, type in ipconfig /all and press enter.
