Thanks for your quick replies.
Sorry, got it the wrong way round. He had fitted 2 off 4dB cable simulators and a 15dB foreward path attenuator.
My Downstream levels do seem very high I must admit:
Downstream Receive Power Level : 22.2 dBmV
Downstream SNR : 26.6 dB

I believe the Upstream is OK though:
Upstream Transmit Power Level : 45.0 dBmV

The modem is a
Ambit ETH/USB Combo Cable Modem (badged NTL Home 200)
Software version : 2.67.1016
Hardware version : 1.15
And yes, I've had it for a while now!

Could it be because my modem is only about 20 feet from the cab?
However, everything seems to have been stable now for at least 2 weeks (hope I'm not speaking too soon!)
