So upgraded my home internet to triple play with gigabit speeds. Total devices connected to coax is 4. One HD DVR, one HD cable box, Netgear CM1000 for Internet and Arris TM822G for voice. Coax comes in from the pole and goes under the house and then up through the floor in the bedroom. It then hits a 3 way unbalanced splitter with the one of the -7db outputs feeding the hd dvr and the other one feeding the hd box, the -3.5db output is feeding about 50ft of coax around the exterior to a separate room where it then hits another splitter to feed two -3.5db outputs to the data modem and the Voice modem. Up until today my modem was in the bedroom directly off of the -3.5 output of the first splitter and I was getting 695Mbps down and about 40 Mbps up. The technician came today and ran the line to the other bedroom so I could move my modems into there and now I am only getting 300Mbps down and 40Mbps up. He said the signal degradation shouldn’t be that much and that there was a storm nearby that happened that is probably causing the lower speeds currently. Would love some insight on if the additional 50ft of cable and the additional splitter would be causing the drop in speed? Also if that is the case is there an amplifier or something that I could purchase to lower the signal drop that I am experiencing? None of the modem or router settings changed today just the additional cable and additional splitter were added. Thanks for any help ... View more
