When I first got 100Mb the power levels were consistently around +3 but after a while the connection went unstable and there were tons of dropouts and the like I believe they replaced a faulty amplifier in the cabinet to fix that issue because the power levels were around +5 after that with different channel ID's. more recently they have started to creep up but I guess the cold weather could be having an affect?

Still odd these problems started at 1am last night which is evident from a spike of packet loss followed by an increase of base latency of 1 or 2ms at the time. it seems to me that this isn't by fault but somebody has changed something to cause this due to it happening at 1am exactly.

Guess I will have to watch this as I doubt it's something VM will care about considering my net still works albeit with speed drops from time to time.
