im in apartments....the download power and snr never stays consistent, is that normal?

this is with the best coax i can find...the modem is near the outlet the computer is farther away than the router which is about 2 and a half feet away from it but on about the same level. the only thing close to the cable modem is the power cord for my power strip (is that a possibility?). i tried a genesys II 2 way splitter as well and it made my downstreampower read 0.0 or 0.1. this is with your ccs file estimate = 2.01 based on packet size = 11Kbits, RTT = 87.44msec, and loss = 0.004032258 The theoretical network limit is 2.01 Mbps The NDT server has a 8192.0 KByte buffer which limits the throughput to 731.93 Mbps Your PC/Workstation has a 125.0 KByte buffer which limits the throughput to 11.21 Mbps The network based flow control limits the throughput to 2.03 Mbps Client Data reports link is 'T1', Client Acks report link is 'T1' Server Data reports link is '10 Gig', Server Acks report link is 'Ethernet'

alright i seperated the router and the modem by about 3 feet...i seem to be getting better download speeds and more consistent bandwidth results, but it still seems like im dropping packets and the nitro test is still indicating i have alot of congestion....what now? i can tell we are close. i also noticed my downstream power is now fluctuating from 1.6 dbmv to 2.1----im gonna try some different coax i have see if that makes a dif

i cant get more than 250 kb/s down and it seems like its dropping lots of packets, the speed bounces quite a bit and then it will sit still for awhile. my bandwidtch on the test sites seems to be reading about 2.5 mb.

ive got greenville electric utility service (geus) for internet, Comcast refused to upgrade lines in the past so the city started its own cable service. they advertise as much as 6mb on a standard package, i can pull 4mb most of the time but my download speeds range from 100kB/s to high 200kB/s. why the high bandwidth and terrible download speeds? the bandwidth test seem to read quite inconsistent, and my signal to noise ratio seems to flutter +/- .5db. i have a BEFCMU10 linksys modem, everything seems to be up to date im on the vanburen 4000 pack in cablenut, im running a 1GHz regal splitter b/c i have a tv tuner card and it doesnt seem to make a difference with or without. any advice is appreciated. :::..
