Your upstream is borderline high, everything else is well within specs. Your modem stats are almost identical.

What should the upstream be 35-50 ish? 40 being the target?

It went from 50 run through a unbalanced splitter to 38.5 with the amp installed. its a 4 port active return amp. Is 38.5 more in line wth specs?

Thanks, I installed an amp and afterwards my downstream power stayed the same 40.4-40.2. My upstream dropped greatly though 50.0-38.5. My box is still freezing up then rebooting at least every hour and sometimes every 15 minutes or so. I have replaced all coax in the house, along with the splitters. It almost has to be the box, in my opinion. Any thoughts?

What kind of amp? Going from 38 on upstream to 50 is gaining not dropping. You may not have the right amp

I pay it. But if nobody will come, it has to be done so I can get the TV I'm paying for. Febuary 18th is the next available date.

I believe if you pay the extra $4.99 per month for the service protection plan, that they will pay for any rewiring, splitters, amps, etc....

So it's been 10 days since I "upgraded". My monthly bill went up aprox. 10 dollars even though I was told it would drop thirty. I haven't had watchable TV in this period. I have spent $180 dollars on cable, splitters, and an amplifier. I have rewired my entire house. A technition came to my house unannounced and ridiculed me for setting up an appointment when I had not recieved the x1 equipment, even though I had not set up the appointment or been notified of it. A service call that I set up was a no call no show. But hey, I "ranked up to @bradide! a minute ago"on this forum, so I got that going for me.

ComcastAndrew has been extremely helpful here. I did not intend for you to be included by proxy in my little rant.

I love rants. What kind of amp? Does it look like attached? Is it tiling etc that's making it unwatchable
