I couldn't glean any negativity on VM's part in your thread over there. Do you actually have a problem apart from the still stunted upsload speed?

If you had these MDD entries coming up all the time, then you'd be having problems and your modem stats woud reflect this. Oddly, I'm going through an unusual period of surprising stability!

I say surprising - because it's always been stable and good with fairly nominal power levels and albeit slightly low SNR (with attendant consequences for correctables). Last week, my DS power plunged from -1 to -7 and my SNR from 34 - 35 to 27-31. Apart from a spate of MDD Timeouts on the day and low speeds of 1 Mbps, I now am back to 50 meg and still have the rubbish SNR and -7 dBmv downstream power. Event logs are clear.

Since we have the same modem, and your event log isn't clogged with these events, what trouble are you having now that VM is denying?
