VM either lie about utilisation or their thresholds need reviewing, as clearly the method they determine if utilisation is acceptable is not adequate.
I have 3 attenuators, I have toyed around with my power levels from as low as about -5 up to about +12. The entire range has no noticeable affect on jitter, the only affect it seems to have is on T3 timeouts and on throughput, higher speeds seem easier to achieve when the power level is higher.
