    Im in the D4 area, and the past few days have been horrible. I tried changing my dns servers on one of the other laptops, which seemed to help for a little bit, but it didnt really do anything.

    The connection was dropping every few seconds, meaning the internet crawled to a stop, and nothing that required a constant connection would work, msn/ps3 etc etc.

    I have been with UPC or NTL since it has been available, and i have never had it slow down so much. I have noticed the internet slow before, but this is unreal, and for the first time im thinking about ditching them for a slower more reliable service.

    I wouldnt mind if my connection slowed because of contention ratio, I understand that, but if it keeps dropping in the evenings like it has been the past while ill be ditching them.. Its just unaceptable.

    Anyway, I want that power level explained ( 61dbmV). If HQ says its too high, thats good enough for me.
