Go into the cable modem setup/diagnostic mode through your web browser (192.168.100.1 usually), and poke around until you find the page that displays signal strength. Right before we moved away from Hampton, a lot of people in the neighborhood started getting Cox, and my signal strength went to shit. I had a guy come out and change the local terminator tap in whatever local junction box there was (I think that's what they did, I don't remember), and my signal strength went back up to normal. Too many local loads on the lines can overterminate and cause problems like that.

Well, after two years and remembering what the service tech explained to me, I think I was fairly close. Thanks for the correction though.
I really don't know anything about how cable systems work as soon as they leave the nice locally terminated 75 ohm comfort of my house.

I wish you could come to my apartment in CO, we can only get DSL or stupid LP Broadband (pay-per-WAN). I can't even get standard cable TV (fuck distributed basic satellite), nevermind cable internet. I'm not bitter though.
