A Comcast guy came to my house today and told me that ideal internet reception happens between -9 dB and +10 dB on their signal analyzer.
The reason why he was there and why he told me this was because Comcast updated their service (they never told me what they did). Apparently, everyone got kicked off around my area. Once it went back up, mine still stayed dead.
Upon coming here, he found out the room I have the internet hooked up was a -30 dB. Yes, I have a lot of splitters - so we took care of 3 or 4 that I didn't need at the time. This turned my signal to around -19 dB and my internet worked again. He said this should help a little and if worse comes to worse, use the other computer room as it had a -15 dB. He commented on how he was shocked to see it worked like this for 3-4 years at 30 dB.
What I am trying to figure out is, it worked wonderfully in the past, what could they have possibly done that made it stop working without increasing the signal.
