I havent got this router... but its standard practice on quite a lot of ethernet ports to show different colours depending upon the speed of the device plugged into it.
Green is usually GbE
Orange/Yellow is usually 10/100

Not much point attempting to tweak the SNRm if you are on FTTC. The BToR DLM works slightly different to the BTw one on adsl2+

Oh... what changes did you make? Ive never actually tried as I know plenty before have and its not worked as you supposedly cant over-ride the default 6dB What were your before and after figures? Do you still have them

ooh.. just realised from your stats that youre not on fttc, so any tweaking should still work.
afaik the tweaks for the Billion and Netgear should be similar

The speed in theory should stay the same. It depends what the DLM does. Ive just noticed that you appear to be with Talktalk where its possible to ask them to turn off the DLM if you ask nicely in their support forums
