Splitting a coax signal

I'm not an engineer, either (bachelor's in physics). But you got me beat on CATV and satellite TV systems.

my cable modem is split with a tv, seems fine to me. broadband speed checker still gets me speeds apparently above average for my connection

is that possible?

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

CIAO!

1) How do you know what is average for your "connection"? 2) Well-designed comm equipment has a window of tolerance for signal levels. Your signal levels apparently fall within that window of tolerance. 3) Best Practices merely encourage optimal performance, they don't guarantee it. Conversely, poor practices don't guarantee failure. *TimDaniels*
