What should the downstream power level be these days? Initially before summer, my level was over 10 so they added an attenuator. Then when an engineer called he added a second one, so I have this ridiculous chain sticking off the back of my modem. That took my power level to around 3, but checking tonight and despite the daisy chain of attenuators, it is up around 9+ again. Without the attenuators, that means it would be around the 15 dBmv mark, which is surely way too high?
