Hi everyone,

No modem resets today or yesterday (woohoo!). The only remaining problem (and I don't know if it's related) is that I'm not getting anywhere near the download speed that I had been.

My 10Mb service is currently maxing at about 3Mbit. Having read previous posts regarding signal levels, it seems that although my downstream values are OK (6.25dBmv / 30.14dB SNR), my upstream is indeed in the 'screaming back at the UBR' category (60.5dBmv). This is on an ntl:120 modem.

I'm guessing that if my modem's upstream is having difficulty, it may not be able to maintain the upstream flow of TCP ACK responses to allow the full download speed.

Maybe a call to TS is in order?
