    I think it should. Once the Downstream Noise Margin doesn't drop below 5dB as below this the line becomes unstable and resynces to a lower speed.

    Actually your line can take ~20mbps with those stats. Doesn't matter though, a sync speed of 7168Kbps down and 384Kbps up, means that your exchange is likely (almost certainly) fitted with ADSL 1 tech. Which means a top sync speed of 8128kbps down 1024kbps up.

    BUT eircom decided, for reasons I can only guess, to limit everyone's max sync speed to 7168/384 a few years back. Basically unless your exhange is upgraded to NGB (eircom speak for ADSL 2+ and more backhaul), that's as fast as your broadband is going to get. Unless you live in an area where there is some form of competition from UPC or others, it's not going to be upgraded anytime soon.
