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.
Thanks for the tip, got some very interesting results. This is a direct feed from the wall inside. No splitters, seems my DBmV levels are too high or am I mistaken?

I should add that my speeds were still crappy.
