Thanks for the reply Broadbandings. In that case then, given that there doesn't seem to be anything technically wrong with the cable modem what could be the cause for the abysmal speed readings? Also, is there anything I can possibly do at my end to get a lower downstream power reading to get it near to zero?

Update: just done 2 speedtests at thinkbroad with completely different results from the ones above:

http://www.thinkbroadband.com/speedt...222427983.html

and another one at speedtest: http://www.speedtest.net/result/604720230.png

Obviously not perfect but nearer to what one would expect. All very weird, especially as the London server I used for speedtest was giving speeds in the single figures about an hour ago. I knew cable suffers from congestion, but surely not this badly?
