Let me know if I'm wrong

With a margin of 3db it may be zero.

I've had 2Mbps with ~ 60dB downstream attenuation and ~ 4-5dB noise margin ! By
tweaking I even managed about 2800kbps.

The 3dB noise margin suggests something's not quite right though. You'll
probably see regular disconnects. What service are you on ?

Without the connection speed, it is impossible to tell.

With attenuation of 45dB, it could be anything from 1.5 - 4MB.

But if you are on a MAX service, it should give you the highest speed
it can attain with the SNR being at least 6dB (the SNR will vary
according to connection speed - it is the first number that matters,
and should be as high as possible).

If you are seeing 3dB, then your connection is probably dropping
frequently, and the connection speed isn't going to be much use in
that case.

You have blanked your current connection speed but with a Noise Margin
of 3 that is good as you can expect. Typically lines with attenuation
around 45 should be good for 4/5Mbs but that depends on Noise Margin
as well.

Yes I am and always have been getting infrequent dropouts (3 per 12 hours?)
and yes it is a Netgear router - but I had these dropouts when I used a
binatone USB modem.........

What should I do?

By the way the router says it's connected at 4512kbps down and 448 up -
ADSLguide or whatever it's called now says my download speed is 2.7kbps and
about 300 up - this is pretty constant - but the line does drop occasionally
as mentioned.

I think there is something seriously wrong with those figures :-)

That is not what I would call "infrequent", although it is similar to
what I was getting when my Netgear was reporting a similarly low SNR.

Normally, you should expect a BB connection to stay up for weeks at a
time if you don't drop it yourself.

I changed to another make (Draytek) because I was getting fed up with
2-3 dropouts per day, when I was working from home.

It gives a lower supposed connection speed, but is absolutely rock
solid.

Make sure you have the latest firmware, and if that doesn't work, get
a different router.

Netgear have no facility for you to set a minimum margin at which it
should connect, or that would be a possibility.

Based on my own experience, and a few other reports such as yours,
cheap routers aren't very good with ADSLMax unless your line is good
enough to get the maximum 7.something Mb, although that is based on
only a few models (the other one I tried was a 3Com, and that was even
worse than the Netgear).

Yes. That speed is probably a few hundred K too high for your line in
reality.
