You wanna talk what I know go away and study for 2 years and then we can talk.

LOL @ reading up for half an hour and knowing stuff. It takes years of experience to properly know what you're doing with DOCSIS and cable, I'm a relative beginner. People who really know DOCSIS and cable modems make insane amounts of money, as they know RF physics, fibre optics, ethernet and other layer 2 protocols, IP and VoIP.
Personally I regard that as rather more difficult than administering a local area network, which is why DOCSIS people having read the website for half an hour get paid rather a lot more than internal network administrators.

Call Blueyonder 2nd line and ask them about pwr levels. The recommendations are handed down from network infrastucture. Yer know the guys who know what they are talking about.

If they gave me that information I'd laugh at them as it's totally wrong. Though what do I know I wrote a high level cable modem troubleshooting guide for ntl

What is the deal with forums that when a new guy comes on with a bit of knowledge people have to be total obnoxious ******s? All you simply could of done was say I was incorrect and give a persuasive and intelligent discussion to why. Girls must love you.

I told you why you were wrong. A little knowledge does a lot of harm when it's wrong. Perhaps I was too strong however your vehemence that it was correct then giving both incorrect values and claiming the higher level the better was a bit scary.
Girls, hey I don't do too badly, although I had to stop that when I got married

By the way again in reference to this reply I did read your post, and responded at 18:27, sadly as you added the 2nd paragraph in an edit at 18:30 and also changed a couple of details in the first paragraph, at a guess having read my response, it was rather difficult for me to read it.
Just to refresh you removed reference to upstream transmit levels being 'Higher the better' and added a bit about how you 'could' be wrong.
This topic I think is degenerating nicely and as Rashid hasn't been back here since his original post I have to feel it's served its' original purpose.
