That's why I was wondering about the Upstream levels. I told the guy on the phone that I thought the Upstream power level was high and causing a problem. His answer was "The levels are fine, the higher the better", although I still had my suspicions about it. I repeated the same thing about the Upstream levels potentially being the problem but he was insistant that everything was working as it should.

I again ran a speedtest a couple of mins ago to show the problem is still as bad as it was:
