A simple way to eliminate the internal wiring as the issue is to attack the wiring a bit and connect your modem directly to the incoming feed as soon as it gets to the house and see how the power levels are there.

See if you can do that, get shot of splitter, etc, and see how you are going. If there's a single splitter and a coax run in place you should see about 5dB higher incoming power and a transmit power drop of a similar level.

The engineer should have plugged your modem in to the incoming feed to your home to eliminate the internal wiring as an issue.

If still marginal chances are that it's just how the network is set up, might not be any tap options where you are and the network is lined up for a higher transmit power than your drop and splits can do.
