No slam here. The sticky is incorrect though, and I'm just of the opinion that for the non-nerdy audience so long as the service is working well the numbers really don't matter. For Joe Average quoting numbers they don't really understand at a service technician can just confuse the matter more.

My own service is 'out of spec' but works just fine and only drops due to 'other issues' not related to power levels:

Power Level (dBmV) 8.74 8.99 9.03 9.38
Power Level (dBmV) 35.21

I never said his speeds were fine, I said that so long as speeds are fine no point in obsessing over the modem config.
