She waited two months and nothing. She called again, said they'd do it that week and scheduled another day to install at the house. Contractor showed up, still not done, so she said forget it and got a satellite dish. 2 years later we want internet...went through the same thing with them, finally the contractor said to hell with it, and ran the RG-11. Thank God...no DSL out here where we are.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20440270 Tue, 06 May 2008 14:23:02 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20438968 sbrook : Gotta remember that on cable speed is not distance dependent.

The loss on an RG11 connection is lower than on RG6 which is why it was used for the long run.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20438968 Tue, 06 May 2008 10:24:17 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20438901 anon : Thanks. I'm a bit surprised since he had to run that RG-11 so far. The total run is about 275 feet.

Well, I finally got moved, and have Rogers installed with my SB5100 modem. The installer had to run RG-12 the distance of three telephone poles to the house, then RG-6 from the box to the modem. Here are the values I got from the modem. Just wondering if they are half decent?
Speed seems to be good.
