Update. The engineer came and 'increased the power at the tap plate' (or somesuch and then put an 8db attenuator on the cable directly behind the modem. I did a multiple file download from a virgin speed test site - not Ashford, one of the others - and managed about 2.9 MBps. The modem stats now say
Downstream
Power Level (dBmV) 9.09 9.26 9.54 N/A
RxMER (dB) 38.61 38.61 39.40 N/A
Upstream
Power Level
(dBmV) 52.25
I'm still getting occasional pauses - but generally it seems more stable. Fingers crossed,
