55dBmV upstream power is still pretty high, but if it holds steady and the downstream SNR stays at 41dB (a very good figure), i'd leave it at that.

Attenuators are typically for capping DOWNSTREAM power levels usually when it's like +5dBmV or greater. If the engineer went and upped the gain in the cabinet he shouldn't have installed attenuators!
