After tweaking the gain + slope controls slowly for 5-10mins, I got my DS to within the -6 - +6 range and my snr back to 35-36 up from 28-31 while keeping snr for the STB at around 37.

The cause was a 4-way splitter.

I think i need a big yellow brick as my modem often does exactly the same..
Im using a 3 way splitter at the moment & if it will cure my signal problems im all for it..

Mines like this dunno if thats good but mine sometimes does the same. ive called them and there said there would sort it, anyways 2weeks later seems to be cool now

so my suggesting is give the Vm a ring there get enough money out of us anyways!

I only made that thread as I had a LOT of newbies PMing me when I couldnt get online and I didnt want to look like I was ignoring them. All the VM engineer did was change the old splitter for a new one !!!! Pretty p****d off at them, but at least I have a little scam for the future when this happens

would a signal booster work for uploading too?

on a 20MB connection i get about 0.72 upload, this means when i host on xbox live the strength isn't good enough, shouldn't i be getting better upload? i already have a 4DB booster that V put in with the modem, so i assume my signal is weak anyway, especially as my upload drops when i take it off?

what are others getting as upload?
