I'm at least 100m from the cab and actually had high upstream power a couple of times. A couple of network changes brought it to ~ 40 until I just got this SH. When I first had one the installers went through three before they got one to work at all so I'm not impressed with the QC and suspect this one could be dicey.
Upstream uses a low frequency carrier, even on a long cable it still appears only a few db higher than at the tap. My area the upstream has dropped by 5db almost everywhere. Part of the upgrades it seems
