That is the way mine does, they put the box on the outside of the house, the
cable was brought through the wall to a mounting board for all of the cable
and network stuff. The short run from the cable d-mark to the first splitter was
about 1.5 feet, they installed a two port splitter, one to the TV;s and one to
the modem. That is the way it is. On the TV port I have a 4 port splitter for
the TV signals.

I have the SOHO package, the commercial data rides on carriers at about
600 Mhz. I understand the regular home rr links run in the spectrum of 5
to 49 Mhz, when I got the SOHO service the engineer they sent out to inspect
it told me that I did not share the same spectrum as the home rr service, and
showed me a screen dump of the modem parameters including freqs, and
he told me about the differences between the business and home services.
Indeed the service has been pretty reliable. I use Vonage on it and it is
always there.
