Repost in the direct forum using the correct terminology, If we're discussing terminology, that's still ambiguous and not completely accurate. In the cable world, this is also a "tap", which is back in the splitter realm: »ii.alatest.com/product/6 ··· ay-0.jpg said by DarkLogix: I think we're talking about these »www.antronix.net/Product ··· a467cabe What's on the side of my house, looks like a cross between these two. Neither photo above does it exact justice, but imagine something morphed between them and you'll have an idea on what's on the side of my house. I was told the "tap" is on the telephone pole. But maybe I was misinformed. Have no idea what's inside the box on the pole... Do know in the past they have found "water" in it once (have a few theads about that, if anyone wants to search). I also know they've re-wired that box on the pole a few times (sometimes wires are all nice inside it and others times they seem exposed).

You don't have an amp on the outside of your house do you? I've seen it happen before Pics please. It is also entirely possible that your "tap" (this is on the line near the pole) is "watered out" and needs replacement. Most cable companies have a line or construction tech do this kinda thing....a service tech can't in most areas.

That will clear all this up.

DerMon @comcast.net	DerMon to OldschoolDSL Anon 2011-May-18 4:25 pm to OldschoolDSL The tap is where your drop connects to the main feed coax for your neighborhodd. The drop connects to your house at a grounded splitter. If the issue is at the Tap on the pole, then Field/line operations has to come out to fix. Repair techs deall with any issues from the tap on into the house. If you have had this ongoing issue, i am surprised that no repair tech has not put in a "refer to maintenace" ticket. Phone reps cannot put in a ref to ticket, only repair techs
