Hello, I am connecting cable modem service for the first time. There are many different cat5 connections inside my house. The one the cable installers connected it to was pulling 60Mbit/sec after installed. It was an inconvenient place for the modem, so I moved it to another location. Inside the cable box, the outside line comes in and attaches to one coax cable via a coupler, no splitter. I removed the wire that it was attached to and connected the coax that lead to the part of the house where I wanted the modem. I reconnected everything at it works fine, except the speed is cut in half. I can pull 30, 35 on a good day, Mbit/sec.. half what it was getting at the other location. When I move it back to that location it goes back up to ~60. With the tools I have with me I don't have a reliable way to measure the resistance of the entire length of the wires. I'll have to go get that tool from my storage. The connector on the faster line is *slightly* higher quality/newer but the cable is identical. They are both solid metal on metal connections, however. This is a new house with all new wiring made within the past 10 years. I am a pc technician but I don't do a lot of stuff with cable modems in terms of initial install, I handle mostly PC hardware/software and network infrastructure issues. Anyone have any ideas of things I could try? Thanks in advance for any advice. *Signal info attached*

Hello everyone! I made a new account on this site to ask a quick question. I had cable Internet installed at a client's site. There are two possible places with coax connections for the modem inside the house. These all join together at a junction box outside the house. If I put the cable modem on one of the coax lines, I get about 60Mbit. If I change it to the other one, I get barley 35Mbit. The service is rated at 50. The connections are relatively close, not any significant distance apart. The house is relatively new, built within the last 10 years, and has all new wiring. The absolutely only difference whatsoever I can tell is that the two connectors is the faster connection has a slightly shinier/newer looking coax connector. They both however, appear to be the same metal.I made sure all the connections were really snug. What could be cutting the signal close to half?! I don't have a remote way of measuring resistance with me, or a spool of cable long enough to run an extension to run to determine how many ohms each cable pulls and if there is a significant difference, which I can't imagine their would be, unless there's some physical damage to the cable somewhere. I really don't want to have to fish a new cable into the wall. Anyone got any ideas? Thanks so much in advance for anyone's knowledge and expertise. - I. Moylan
