This seems to be a point of confusion amongst various parties.
I've read that power levels shouldn't be lower than -3 and Swansea support have confirmed this to me. While my power levels were around -5, I had cause to call out two engineers. They both told me that -7 is perfectly acceptable and they both refused to raise them. Later my power levels dropped further to -7.5 or so yet my quality of service seemed as good as ever, fast download speeds of up to 7.4MB/s and none of the problems that I had been experiencing previously. I no longer worry about them.
