0 dBm download power

Question

I've been having intermittent broadband speed problems for a couple of weeks now. My BT home hub 2 has been reset daily in an attempt to fix. I realise this probably doesn't help as my IP profile has been reduced to 572kbps download and will take atleast 3 days of line stability for BT to automatically try and increase this.
What is concerning me, however, is the 0 dBm download power mentioned in the output below. I expect this is the number of dB power with respect to 1 mW i.e. 10 log (pOut/1mW). However I'm unsure what a reading of 0 actually means in practice and could it be indicative of an underlying issue?
Pls also advise if there's anything else peculiar with the readouts below? I intend to not reset my router until it has been up for atleast 4 days to give it a chance to upgrade my profile.
I've done the speedtest and I'm getting about 400 kbps but I normally get about 4500 kbps.
Any advice appreciated thanks.

Answer 1

it's not the profile that is the problem it is your connection speed of 572.  this is probably due to all the resets which you have done over however many days and yes you now need to leave it alone to settle.
if you can now get 3+ days stable connection shown in your stats then I would contact the mods and get your noise margin reset to 6db and this should bring back your connection speed and subsequently your profile should rise
contact mods
can take up to 3 working days for mods to contact you
