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.
BBings only has to look at his modem and it won't dare misbehave. Of course, if he blinks first (before the ready light), it might go down (and did, I believe).
