BT Faceplates - will one improve my line stats?

Saw the recent gossip about extended reach trials and noticed that face
plates seemed to improve attenuation.I have a 512KB connection at present
with 67dBa attenuation.
Will a faceplate get me into the 1MB bracket?

Regards

highly unlikely. If you've dodgy internal wiring it "Could" improve the SNR
but that's all

62.8 (currently), been down 10 times in the last 24 hours.

Sorry 63dBa I meant:
Operational data report : near end (Downstream)
-----------------------------------------------
Attainable line rate : 2396 kbit/sec
Attainable Atm rate : 2112 kbit/sec
Used line rate : 744 kbit/sec
Fast used Atm rate : 576 kbit/sec
Interleaved used Atm rate : 0 kbits/sec
Rel. capacity occupation : 31
Noise Margin : 13 dB
Line attenuation : 63 dB
Output Power : 17 dBm

So I take it that doesn't look good then!
