A slap, not a medal, Ig, the dirty deserter.

0.4 is fine, it's not an absolute measure of wholesome goodness but a scale where a range around 0 is considered ok and you only have to start worrying at the edges. It's also only one of five key measurements you can take on a particular connection to get somewhere, so the problem may lie in one of the other four, or indeed on your particular upstream due to peak time congestion (which we're pretty good at monitoring).

To sum up - downstream receive power isn't the only thing worth looking at - in your case it's ok - so let's look at the next thing. PM me your cable modem's MAC address.
