Cause, or effect though?

If you push for higher sync speeds, the SNR becomes worse. Sad fact of 
reality.

SNR is an outcome, not a cause, although some might argue that "low SNR is 
the cause of your problems", it's merely a metric to measure the margins 
between the signal (desirable) and the noise (undesirable).

Of course, *I* might be wrong too :)
