High Power Levels
Hi, i posted in the VM support forum regarding my high power levels, they look high to me anyway and in the posts on here have always suggested the 6/7+ for down and 55+ for up are pushing it.
http://community.virginmedia.com/t5/...s/td-p/1152461 So VM tell me mine look fine even at 8/9+ for down!! Has the threshold changed? Cheers :) |

Re: High Power Levels
you can try give them a call via 150.they should check over the phone for you and they may have different opinion so they may send you an engineer to check
you can also get a forward path attenuator http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FORWARD-PA...#ht_1587wt_955 and lower them by your self also if the internet works ok some they belive if working dont touch it...so i guess the mod in VM forum use this opinion |
Re: High Power Levels
the VM dude is talking out of his ass, they are not within spec. Although the shub can handle the power VM work to +6 or less. Your upstream could do with coming down a tad as well.
If everything is working ok then you can always leave it but with those levels being so borderline it wont take much for things to start going wrong. I wouldnt be surprised if you start to see some packet loss. Have you done any pings out of curiosity? |
Re: High Power Levels
self install kits dont require a tech but why dont techs who do installs not always sort out power levels? do bulk attenuators really cost the company a huge amount?

Re: High Power Levels
@MannyUK you might jave problems when more channels get pushed.

why dont VM write up a guide on how to put on an attenuator and send it out along with the relevant attenuator/equalizer through the post. surely that would save a few quid on tech bookings? |
