Anyway, the cable guy came out and switched the hookup on the three-way
splitter. He took the line that goes to my cable modem and TV off of a 7dB
terminal and out it on the 3.5dB terminal. All is well now.

how is this possible?

The 'db's are attenuation. The signal from the 3.5 db output is TWICE as
big
as from a 7 db output. He merely doubled the signal to your cable modem,
which is reasonable. If you still have good pictures on your tvs, all is
cool and good.
