Do you now your levels beforehand? This could be important?

What internet effects are you experiencing?

What you have now is high power boosting noise as well as signal. The SNR should ideally be above 34.5 dB. I would be unhappy about this. Most people are in the 37-40 dB range and you are entitled to be too IMO.

You could get a 10dB forward path attenuator from eBay and see what that does. But the SNR is what also concerns me. If it was low before, then VM need to look into it (though they'll claim it's in spec); if SNR has dropped from before then something has induced noise since the HDU was fitted.

Let us know.
