Some days my Downstream Line Attenuation is 15.5 dB and sometimes its 51.5dB.
I thought Line attenuation was supposed to relate to the distance I am from the exchange (about 2.9km straight line distance). As far as Im aware, my house doesnt get up and move around very often... so why does this figure change by such a large amount?

Could this be the symptom of a fault somewhere?
thanks
You need to relate it to the downstream SNR and whether Interleave is on or off.
Post your line stats and if you're on Max post the result from www.speedtester.BT.com
An attenuation of about 15db would be for a roughly 1km line. Lines are very rarely straight to the exchange, usually they follow the roads and not always in the direction you expect. So I'd expect the 51db figure to be the correct one.
If could be some freak signal problem or even a fault with the modem/router.
As borednow said, the other line stats (SNR, interleaving, sync speed) from both the higher and lower attenuations would help make more sense of this.
