lol, great vidoe hunter.

I have dsl right now, but I've heard with cable you can increase your speeds if you have one dedicated cable line for internet.

i.e. if you have two lines going into your house your fine (one only for internet),

if you have one line going into your house and it's split like this:

cable line
       |
   splitter
   | | |     |
  TV's   internet

you'll get better speeds by buying a extra splitter and changing to...

 cable line
       |
   splitter
     |       |
splitter   internet
   | | |   
  TV's

 

KS, exactly right. Basically in illustration #1, your internet recieves only 25% of the total cable signal, while in illustration #2 your internet recieves 50% of the cable signal. The internet modem needs a stronger signal than your tv does.

Also, since the cable line in my yard was replaced in late winter I have not had any problems with either internet or tv. Glad I did not switch to DSL
