If I am correct the second lot the upstream power level is too low.

Are you having connection issues?

It is within spec check the sticky

Thank you all for replying back, also can I ask what type of problems can a low upstream power level cause?

31-10-2009, 19:37

sticky

i think your connection would be lost then

What country and network does that actually apply to as Virgin has the Knowsley platform and the Langley/Bromley platform with different QAM's and power levels as shown in the stickies.

Fair point except that the OP wanted to know the "type of problems" that could be expected with a low upstream power level.

No I wanted to know what country so we could compare them.

As for information a nice find.

@Moldova

The site is Chinese so far as I can tell. Which doesn't help you.

To my mind, since the document refers to DOCSIS 1/2 behaviours, it is country independent.

Would you agree?

I would recommend highly http://bradyvolpe.com/ for those who want to swot on cable networks a bit. It does assume some knowledge so be aware.
