It is the upstream Signal to Noise Ratio Margin, it is measured and reported by the ISPs exchange equipment. There is possibly a standards communication issue, sometimes it means a negative number is incorrectly handled, sometimes a special value is not being interpreted.

In your case you seem to have a very good connection, but a low upstream speed which means your upstream margin should be high. I don't believe the drivers will report more than +31dB, so that may be the issue.

Are you supposed to have a higher upstream connection speed? If so would be worth checking all the telephone wiring and filters because this means there must be a problem.

thanks for the quick reply, and yes my upload is limited to 128kbps (which is awful)
is there any way which i can maximise my router?

how should i test it.
because i usually upload files to badongo and mediafire. both of those would 5~10 minutes for a 5MB file.

just added another picture taken from the router's status page.
