More stats needed and also can you tell us how you are connected to the phone line? Is it via the master socket or using extentions , and are you using wireless or hard wire? Have you micro filters in each live telephone sockets?

Re: What maximum speed should i get with these stats?

Are you capped? With your noise margin you should be able to sync slightly higher, not a lot, maybe 8-900kbps. If you are not capped rebooting your router a couple of times might increase your sync. To be honest, you have a reasonable speed for your attenuation and asking Sky to increase it could well result in going backwards. If you have a reliable connection I would be inclined to leave it alone, not many have double the average for their package.
