I sat for 15 mins watching the downstream and it was up and down like a yoyo every few secs.
Downstream Receive Power Level : 0.3 dBmV
Downstream SNR : 33.4 dB
would jump to anything upto -0.3 dBmV and the SNR would jump around just as much and on another day it woud be more stable.

OK :p
You don't have Dunkeh syndrome - his issues were on the upstream path, yours apparently are on the downstream one - your upstream is solid as you like from what I've seen of it.
It's something pretty local to you, to be honest I suspect it's the cable connecting modem to outlet, you described it as getting hot which makes me think it's not insulated properly.
Think you mean Power varied between +3dB and -3dB ?
See above though, methinks it's that coax if it's getting hot as you describe, that or modem, have you followed my suggestion and gotten a service call? Hopefully they'll get it fixed fairly easily as the fault, while unusual, is IMHO not a major one, apart from the effect it has.
Oh and 1Mbit does not give lower pings by default than 600k, how wide the pipe is and latency of data are two different things
