Like others here I have been having problems with download speeds. Most of the speed tests I do give good results (I am om the 10m service and they usully report between 7 & 9) but I find that during normal use the service is up and down like a yoyo. Also since the upgrade from 3m to 10m my usenet download speeds are very poor.

I just read the "sticky" about power levels being +/-3 and above 8 is a "cause for concern" so I checked mine and found it is 13.10dBmv. Is there anything I can do? or do I need to call CS?

Modem: NTL Home 120
Firmware: ntlhm120_ntl0002.cpr
Downstream Receive Power Level : 13.10 dBmv
Downstream SNR : 34.88 dB
Upstream Transmit Power Level : 45.00 dBmv
