It's this long:
Line Attenuation (Up/Down) [dB]: 41.0 / 65.5
b*cat gives
Eric a quick hiss.
The attenuation can only be related to the physical line length when standard gauge copper is used, with no narrow gauge aluminium, an average number of joints, no "blue beans", gel crimps only, etc, etc, as you know. If a line is in incredibly poor condition, the physical length could be 0.5 mile but still have that 65.5 dB downstream attenuation!
And, as we also know, a modem that reports 65.5 dB is probably saying "I'm unable to quote a proper value for the attenuation".
b*cat lowers the fur on his back and comes out of grumpy-mode. There now follows the data for my line. So where does it fit into the scale of very short, short, medium, long and very long, please?

Having measured my D-side cable length (with a
301C tester) I know that there is exactly one quarter of a mile of cable (440 yards / 400 metres) between my home and the PCP.
