Re: Coax Splitter Problems (Digital Cable-Cable Modem)
Yeah...I would check the grounding....I had this problem in my apartment. Once I felt a tingle while touching the ground on the cable...I knew it was time I did something about it on my own.
Though the cable tech here seems to know that it is the splitter that goes bad...when happened the first time...first my connection went intermittent and then it went completely. After weeks of calling support, they finally scheduled a service call. And, he came in and immediately replaced the splitter, said it should be fixed now and left.
After that I was checking the splitter and replacing it myself when I had problems. And, then felt a tingle in my arm while changing it once.....
Actually it was a 9db tap...with the cable modem on the tap....
