Exactly as you suggested your upstream transmit power is too high and you need an engineer visit to remedy this.

EDIT: There may also be an area fault however, your upstream modulation is QPSK which isn't normal for the 50Mbit service. I hope it's an area fault anyway as it does look rather silly if it's intentional configuration. That said if it were the normal 16QAM you'd not be online at all.

I would imagine it's an area issue and your local network guys should be dealing with it but definitely call in.
