That generally means that the modem is transmitting at such a
high power because it can't "hear" the downstream packets well,
doesn't it? <snip>

I thought the CMTS sends instructions to the modem to command it to
increase or decrease its upstream power level on a continuous basis so
that the upstream signal strength *at the CMTS* is within spec. If so,
it would mean that upstream and downstream power levels are
independent of each other.

Well the tech came and replaced all of the cables running from the
alleyway to the house, which he said were obsolete. Somehow, this cut
off the guilt-free free tv, so the splitter issue is moot. Thanks
anyway for all of your help.
