Re: The RG6 Compression fitting blues Thanks for the advice on the Dynex splitter Italian, I have a splitter coming from verizon, I'll just wait for it to be delivered.
You asked "Why would Verizon install an unnecessary
"bigger splitter" in order to introduce more signal loss?"
I have a 5 bedroom home with 2 living rooms and a mancave, the reason seems obvious why I would want Verizon to have installed a splitter sufficient to cover my entire house. Is it unreasonable to expect that maybe 8 drops be connected in a 3500 Sq. Ft. house? |

A very long run connected to an 8 way, opposed to a 6 can put the signal just beyond an acceptable low point. Again, depends on length of coax. You dont have to wait for the VZ splitter, even a new splitter can be defective. If the Regal is marked 5-1000 mhz, it should be adequate. Like I said, if any of the runs are SHORT, put them onto the 2way out of the 6.
Good luck. |

I know it varies by ONT but when I got mine installed (2006) the signal out of the ONT was so strong they put attenuators on the line. The same result could be managed by using a 'too big' splitter. |

Attenuators were used when VZ was supplying an analog signal. That has not been the case for several years now.

kudos:2 | Ahh, didn't know it was due to the analog signal. Good to know. |
