power level changes, anything to worry about??

I am not experiencing any issues, but I was wondering about the changing power levels and if it indicates a upcoming problem. I started service last Sept/Oct, back then the power levels varied for the 8 channels between "-0.3 to -3.5ish". I've noticed it changing gradually over the months to "-10.0 to -7.0s". are these levels affected by outside temp perhaps? (las vegas heat). anyway, I recently just upgraded to preferred service and notice the levels in the "-12.0 to -9.0s". nothing has changed on this end equipment-wise since I hooked it up. I used the provided 2way splitter and cables that came with the dpc3825. Again, I am not experiencing any connection issues but was wondering if this is indicating something might be failing. what is the optimal specs/range for it? or am I worrying for nothing? thanks.

If you're not experiencing any problems I wouldn't necessarily worry about it much however should the connection become unreliable the signal is something we would want to definitely address.

Okay thanks ChrisL!  Yeas so far no connection issues.  there were some minor ones when first upgraded tiers but things have been stable now.  If I do start having problems, would changing out that splitter be a step? do those things "go bad"?? in the meantime I will just sit back and relax. thanks again.
