Who is your provider? My connection comes from the street to a fairly good
size box outside the house. The cables for TV and the Cable modem come
into my house to differant rooms. The cable modem connection is exclusively
meant for it. No splitters or amplifiers should be used on that connection.
Never attach a TV to it.
If you are talking about the TV cable connections, the frequencies involved
start somewhere above 49mhz and go up to somewhere around 800mhz.
