Hi so I'm trying to make sure my internet is near perfect (replaced our old modem/router for higher grade ones that can support up to 1.4gb). Anyways I'm not too tech savoy when it comes to coax cables and how splitters work for speeds.. I'm wondering since we've got comcast and recently canceled our tv service with them, if removing all extra splitters and extra coax cables will increase our speeds?
We have the main coax line going into a 4 way splitter (1input 4 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.. one of those 4 lines go into a 2 way splitter (1input 2 output) and our modem line could be going through two splitters. We're going to remove the tv boxes we have still and return them to comcast later today but with no use for anything but 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 need?
As of right now when doing speed tests it comes out to (ping 16) (125mbps down) (24mbps up), I know those speeds are good but I would like to increase them. Our internet speed plan we're paying for is the 2nd highest one (150-200mbps plan).
Thank you for the answers!
