Best cable splitting strategy.

Hi,
I know that the cable modem must have a pretty strong signal so it can
be downstream from a few splitters.
But I need to put in at least one or two. Where the cable comes in (A)
I have a single TV. The modem is in the next room (B) where there is
another TV. I'm choosing between two options:
1. 2-way splitter at location A and a 2-way splitter at location B.
2. 3-way splitter at location A
Way 1 is neater, but perhaps the modem gets only 1/4 of the signal.
Way 2 is more cumbersome, but perhaps the modem gets 1/3 the signal.
So which way is better?
Many thanks in advance,
Aaron
Ok, my 2 cents. I had my modem connected to the output of the first
splitter, then I got the digital cable box. The cable box was hooked
to the second splitter. I found that the on-demand wouldn't work, so
I switched the modem and cable box. The modem is on the second splitter
and the cable box on the first. Now they are both working just fine.
YMMV
