You have to be sure it is a 1ghz splitter and not a 900 mhz for the internet
portion of it. Digital TV does better through the gigahertz splitter also.
They're kind of hard to find except through the cable co. But not
impossible. Try radio shack.

Hello all,

I have been having problems with my cable modem. I split the line where it
comes in the house. One leg to my modem, the other to the TV.

My internet kept dropping signal. I was sure to get a splitter that
provided a direct pass-thru to 7dB on both outputs.

There is a three way splitter on the line coming in from you pole. It has
output 7dB, 7dB, and 3.5dB.

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?

Thank fred.
