Actually, some of us are guessing she would be fine with SNR consistently as high as yours.
A few are thinking the combination of the SNR of 33 dB, QAM 256 and the Motorola SB5120 (known for sensitivity to noise on the line and especially with QAM 256) may be her problem. If she sees a reading of 33 dB when connected, it is entirely possible SNR drops below that at times and that is why she gets disconnnected.

said by aliasrlz :jbob, He had some "piece of cable" (threw it away already), and a very old splitter that he replaced. The piece of cable was about 6 in, and had the RF needled on one point. I don't know much more......but he brought both to me and said I could discard/trash them as he replaced them. Here is the info, together, you requested: Downstream Value Frequency 711000000 Hz Signal to Noise Ratio 33 dB QAM 256 Network Access Control Object ON Power Level 0 dBmV Upstream Value Channel ID 1 Frequency 23984000 Hz Ranging Service ID 432 Symbol Rate 3.200 Msym/s Power Level 40 dBmV I wish I had those numbers (I don't) and I get 6mb/386kb reliably.
From memory:
SNR 35
Down -1.2db
Up 45db
