Re: Hmmm...

Well, I was willing to eat some crow on this one, but crow just aint on the menu this evening.

I attached my cable modem directly to the grounding block, and here are my results.

Direct Connection to grounding block

Downstream
Power .52 dBmV
Signal to noise ratio 34dB

Upstream
Power
39.25 dBmV

Speed test results were 3341 down, 348 up

Connected through my home's CATV wiring

Downstream
Power -3.09 dBmV
Signal to noise ration 34 dB

Upstream
Power 44.0 dBmV

Speed test results 3650 down, 348 up

Looks like the problem isn't the wiring. the 44 dBmV on the upstream isn't the best, but it's well within the limits, and I should be getting full speed with it.

Well, I'm getting PM'ed from the system, my trace route is in....

As long as your S/N ratios are within spec as well as your transmit and receive power levels are good, you usually do not see an increase or decrease in speed.
What tends to happen is that as the upstream transmit power approached 50+ you start to lose sync and it sometimes appears as slow speeds.
your 44 reading is fine.
