Possible fiber bend?

mrb00ce

Few days ago i made a post here saying i might got fiber bend and some users said yes i might have fiber bend so i called my ISP to check the issue and they sent a technician and he said everything is looking fine. I'm using a genexis modem and I've been experiencing speed drops so i logged into my modems page and found these 

Transmiting Light Power: 2.1dBm  
Receiving light power: -16.4dBm  
Working Voltage: 3242.2mV  
Working Current: 7.984mA  
Working Temperature: 54℃  

  are these good numbers?

I'm not familiar with fibre but a quick Googling suggests that receive power is pretty much as expected for a good FTTP PON connection.

If the engineer is seeing good light levels on his far superior measuring equipment, I'd say the problem has to be at the ISP not the fibre.

Router:  Intel N100 (pfSense) WiFi6: Zyxel NWA210AX (1.7Gbit peak at 160Mhz)
WiFi5: Ubiquiti NanoHD OpenWRT (~500Mbit at 80Mhz) Switches: Netgear MS510TXUP, MS510TXPP, GS110EMX
ISPs: Zen Full Fibre 900 (~930Mbit down, 115Mbit up) + Three 5G (~800Mbit down, 115Mbit up)

Yeah it could be but the problem started after i called my ISP to move my modem and wires to my 2nd floor from my first floor.
