I recorded the power levels to tell them about it as I thought there was a problem there but he said they were fine. I've posted them below to see if people agree.


Ambit ntl:home 200

Downstream Receive Power Level : -5.7 dBmV
Downstream SNR : 30.5 dB
Upstream Transmit Power Level : 61.0 dBmV (I read that this was high or maximum)
Upstream Symbol Rate : 2560 Ksym/sec
Upstream Frequency : 29200000 Hz
I rather doubt replacing the modem will lower that Upstream from that high figure and you probably will still have the same issue.
