When I installed cable modems for @Home we always avoided using existing RG-59. Also, if you have to use a splitter, use one that is rated for 1ghz.

RG-6 cable is better (as in, better shielding and more expensive) than RG-59.

Subject: [H] Type of cable to use for internet?


I need to re-route the cable internet line where it comes into the
house.  I was simply going to snip it, add an extension to it, then
re-route it to another room.  Can I use standard RG-6 cable for this
or does it need to be RG-59?
