I wondered whether some observant person would comment on that :-)
I don't normally reset the TX level every time and it often 'moves' to
around -18dBm.  I retried the test after resetting the TX level to
-9dBm and the results looked a lot better but I had already posted my
test results so it was too late.  It doesn't seem to affect my
connection to Demon, Netcom or Pipex so I'm quite happy with it.
