We have the main coax line going into a iv mode splitter (1input iv output) with those cables leading to our tv boxes, either one of those 4 cables is our main line that connects to our modem or.. ane of those 4 lines go into a 2 way splitter (1input 2 output) and our modem line could be going through ii splitters. We're going to remove the tv boxes nosotros have still and return them to comcast later today simply with no use for anything only the main internet coax line.. would it be best to have a tech come out and remove the splitters and extra cables we no longer demand?
As of correct now when doing speed tests it comes out to (ping 16) (125mbps downward) (24mbps up), I know those speeds are good but I would like to increase them. Our internet speed programme nosotros're paying for is the 2nd highest one (150-200mbps plan).
Thank y'all for the answers!

i'd remove all the actress stuff but to go far easier to await at in the house 
you as well become the added benefit of the slightly better signal overall to the modem. merely honestly don't look anything major, maybe a few mb/s extra. the residual of the speed loss is only going be the fact that cable connections rarely always hit the speeds they advertise. it's always "upwards to ___mb/due south" and not "your speed will ever be ___mb/southward". during pinnacle usage you'll likely see those speeds go downward even more. just at 2 in the morning, you'll probably come across near full speeds if that helps any.

If the splitter is grounded. You will want a grounded coupler. To attach the ground wire.

Merely this is a very unproblematic examination ... connect a laptop or PC direct tot he cable modem and you volition be able to compare both situations and go an answer specific to your installation. You must do both tests at the aforementioned time of day every bit once more, net speeds depend by and large on the number of people using it and that's much college in the evenings than it is say in the morning.

Cant help but comment how contradicting your statement is. Judgement one - i get the speed I pay fore. Sentence iii - im not sure why they phone call it gigabit since information technology is not trully 1000mbps.

If it all possible I would try to keep the modem on only 1 splitter and not two.
What I would do is test your modem plugged into splitter ane only, get to the logs (you tin access this by putting its IP in the browser, for most modems that IP is 192.168.100.one) and check your power levels. Then put it in your intended spot with 2 splitters and bank check your ability level again.
You want -7 to +vii dBm of power, 0 to +2 is ideal.

Must be prissy.
The best avaliable to me for residential service is 60mbps through Charter Spectrum. Only other "option" is DSL who sends me flyers for "blazing fast" 12mbps speed :/

I have institute performance with both sources can be spotty.
My in-laws have FiOS ... they tin in no way benefit from the speed as all they use it for is getting e-mails with pics of the grandkids. But my wife are there sometimes 2 or three times a month troubleshooting as service is spotty... multi hr telephone calls are non uncommon.
They do have the best applied science from a theoretical standpoint, and when it's working, it will evangelize speeds faster than cable... merely it is costly and speed does vary, fifty-fifty past Verizon's own literature too as any ISP roundup article. But the problem is a geographical one .. expansion plans have slowed and some areas fare far better than others. In my area "upward-fourth dimension" needs to be improved.
In my neck of the woods, speeds are fairly consequent with both cable and FiOS.... in both instances, speed is only guaranteed at the access point....the larger number of active users on the network, the greater the touch. The cable guys won't come out for a service call if it dips say downwardly to 190 at certain times of the day but if you are seeing 175, they volition come out to determine the cause and fix it.

have a bunch of older "northward" rated adapters on near pc's in the house which is nice since they can't handle the fast speeds. kind of acts every bit a limiter for each pc since they tin can only get nigh 250 mb/s. only my pc has the power to employ the full speed. non that the kids are lament, just if they merely knew how fast it truly could be a wifi adapter than can handle all that speed ain't cheap!!!
