I seem to remember though that the general advice is not to get too worried about levels unless it's actually giving problems - might find the old modem is degraded somehow, and the SHUB will report happier figures - I think the modem was reporting a little low after they put the attenuator on (tested after the STB was replaced).

As for speeds, my M20 seems to have fallen to 5, and no, I haven't been bashing it hard enough to hit STM - reset the modem, and another speedtest peaked 10 before settling to 5 - maybe the old QAM64 I'm on is just not getting a fair share any more.



PS. I'll see if the SHUB does ok in router mode, as my router is only a basic N150. If not, there's always modem mode...
