They did supply enough splitters to cover the install which was 4 lines, but I have since added two lines which is why I needed more. I probably should have had them connect all my runs but most were for future use. I didn't even have these two lines run at the time. I also felt bad since they were only supposed to add TV to my current install but ended up having to relocate the ONT due to grounding issues since apparently the rules changed from when I had my original install done. As a result the install took 9 hours since the rain didn't help either.

They do make 6-way splitters, but aren't that common. You said "at-least" a 6-way? Get an 8-way and then put some terminations on the 2 unused ports. The loss is the same as cascading (8-way = 1 x 2-way with 2 x 4-way splitters), but it's a lot cleaner installation.
If Verizon does the install, the tech will make sure that those new runs will deliver enough signal to the TVs.
Thanks that is what I needed. Yeah all my drops end in the same spot so a 8 way would work nicely. I checked Home Depot since I was there anyway before posting but they didn't have anything similar in stock that looked like the ones I had.
