It's almost painful reading this and knowing that one day, a whole nation (those connected to Virgin media) could experience what you've had to suffer.

I'm honestly not sure what you should do (I imagine you've diagnosed it as not being your modem).

I do know you should have a dowstream receive level of at least 27 - 30 dBmV. If it goes much lower than this, performance will drop noticably.

Could you post your modem config up once more please? (Someone may be able to diagnose the problem if further detail).

Not too bad at the moment.
