Technician came out a bit earlier and couldn't really find anything wrong. Took the 6dB attenuator off as said it wasn't needed. Checked everything was ok with a signal meter.

SNR has gone up a smidge with the attenuator off. He did suggest it could of just been down to an intermittent issue with SNR dropping briefly? Will keep an eye on it but pretty sure it'll be fine.

Just as an aside and it's something that has been mentioned on here, he did mention that the tiers are likely to be going 100, 200, 300Mb this year.
