Hello I have COmcast cable TV and COmcast internet. The splitter they put has a -7.5db going to the DVR and a -3.5db going to my cable modem. For the past two weeks I am getting dropped internet connections. I have a Linksys CM100 cable modem and the "Online" light will start blinking and dissapear for 10 mintues to 2hrs. I don;t know if its the splitte ror modem. I called Comcast a week ago and they did not notice anything wrong with my line.
I have a two way Monster splitter that is both -3.5db, there is no 7.5 db output. Will this be a problem for the Cable TV, the cable modem takes 3.5 so I'm assuming that part is ok.

All depends on their gain and equalization settings up on the pole. If you are adding splitters, they may need to adjust the gain coming into the house.
Equalization will affect channel reception across the full band. If some channels come in but others don't, they may need to adjust equalization.
If you are getting dropped internet, return the splitters to the configuration of the original install. If you are still getting drops they should fix it without a service fee. Otherwise, if you altered the install, they will charge you to set it right. If you want to challenge the fees, ask to speak to the retention manager and say you are dumping them for UVerse or Dish.Last edited by edDV; 14th Apr 2012 at 00:13.

7.5dB can be related to diplexer as a part of splitter - perhaps splitter from Comcast have highpass filter that prevent STB RF input against overload by strong uplink signal from Docsis modem.

Well I bought a new cable modem a Zoom 5341, Comcast activated it, and the conenction still dropped?? Howveer not as much but it still dropped the connection. So after a new splitter and modem I wonder whats happening?

Unless the comcast rep was BS'ing you or they're having issues with their equipment, it only leaves the line as the problem. Check with some neighbors if they're losing their connection too, if they are, comcast is dropping the connection (maybe, they're servicing their system). If there's no charge, you should get them to send a tech and have him test the line with a meter.
