Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
which in my area has gone from first to worst, a year ago I swore by my verizon iPad and cussed my sprint iPhone, now I use sprint more because of better service.Originally Posted by SamuraiCO
Update: A different Comcast tech came out Friday. Turns out, he's a customer of mine from way back. He plugs his meter in, no signal. Goes out to the drop, horrible signal. Replace both ends on the drop cable, and the splitter on the side of the house. Bingo. He informs me I need to replace the old RG-58 cable inside with RG-6, as the X1 stuff hates EM noise, and RG-58 doesn't have adequate shielding. I'll probably do that at some point, as well as pulling some CAT5 to connect the TV downstairs to the network. For now, everything is working ok. Now, to deal with billing!
Light a fire for a man, and he'll be warm for a day, light a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life...
Discussion is an exchange of intelligence. Argument is an exchange of
ignorance. Ever found a liberal that you can have a discussion with?
Yep it is RG-6 or bust for the most part I should have mentioned that. But than how do I explain how ancient apartments pre wired with RG-59 manage to work. Next new thing that comes out will probably want RG-11 tap to television (ha-ha).

Yeah, I'll probably do that at some point, but the wife is going to raise holy hell when I tell her that it has to go up the outside of the house and through the siding to get into the office...
