I also face the low SNR margin problem (4-6), I always get the adsl sync's drop problem.

Now I'm using PPPOA on the aztech 600e instead of my netgear WGR614 v5 and I don't have anymore disconnections. However if I surf international websites it's slower than dial-up! Local website have the normal speed.

When my SNR is 10, I won't have disconnection on the netgear, but problem is my snr is always at 6.

EDIT: my connections become worse, reverted to using netgear

Just now I experienced the worst DSL sync lost problem, I couldn't even connect for over a minute before it gets disconnected again, it was like dced over 60 times an hour.

So I fed up, search the junction at which the line from my house and the telephone pole connect, and found out it was rusty. The techinician who did it was a joke, he didn't properly cover the naked wire from rain and that's the reason my line got worst over time. Now that I redo the connection myself, it was more stable than before but I only managed to increase the downstream margin from 6 to 7 only.......
