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

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?
