That's rather low. That's the only thing that really sticks out. Upstream transmit power being low usually points to a fault in the network somewhere, the return path between your modem / V+ and Virgin not being properly balanced 'lined up' causing poor upstream SNR, resulting in packet loss, slow speeds and flaky connectivity.

Do you see much variance in that figure? How's the performance of the connection generally, apart from when it falls over?

Yours is pretty high, for some people using some modems it'll work, for others it won't. It is overdriving the RF transceiver in the modem a touch but I guess as your downstream signal is so clean and your modem is able to take the slack it works ok. It is, however, out of spec.

Spec for the technology on the Langley and Knowsley networks says that modems must be able to tolerate a power range of -6 to +15. They may work outside of these levels.
