You need an engineer out to look at it as your upstream power level is close to maxing out. Best ring in in the morning.

any idea what has caused this ??

Do you have a FAT attenuator on your modem?

[onester]

ummm no?

If you call tomorrow after 0800 on 151 from a Virginmedia phone line or 0845 454 1111 from any other phone line and an agent will run some diagnostics with you and probably book an engineer to adjust your power levels.

What's the difference between a FAT one and a THIN one?
