In my case, it would appear that the modem cable was picking up interference (noise) from the power cable. Perhaps you should have a close look at all your cables.

Thanks for the help and advice so far. The cable only runs parallel to a mains cable for just a few cms so I don't think that would be the cause. Oddly everything seems ok now that the upstream has changed to QPSK. I'm guessing there must be some noise (like you said) on the network, as QAM16 just isn't stable.
