Yes, it is a worry that they could chop off the wire with no ramifications (other than my ire!). The installer himself suggested that it be done this way, and we didn't think of it at all until he mentioned it.

Get on the blower tomorrow during the day and speak to someone via 150, you have got a VM home phone with your package right? They will probably send out another tech.. tell him about the levels, he should put an attenuator before the cable goes into your superhub. He can also put in a splitter for future use if you decide to use other VM services. The splitter would lower the level alone, I'm surprised he has neither put a splitter or an attenuator.
Thanks, I'll give them a call tomorrow (I do have the phone package as well). I'm not sure they'll do anything though as it isn't playing up.

Potentially silly question: is there anything 'dangerous' about having the power levels too high? Should I be unplugging the Superhub when I leave the house? The last thing I want to do is burn down my neighbour's house after they've been so accommodating.
