Your question above, was not really a question. Can you ellaborate.

Yeah ... there's a new type of drop amp out there specifically for use with a cable modem ... it's amplified coming in (55-1002 hz) and going out (<42hz) with adjustable gain for both directions ... supposedly it is ideal for your cable internet access because it eliminates any loss going back through line runs and/or splitters.

Apparently (and I've experienced this myself) if your signal back to Rogers is weak, their system automatically throttles your down/upload speed and conversely, a strong signal causes their system to increase speeds.

So ... I'm going to be using this amp ... but I've been told that even though these amps are great for the cable modem, VOIP services don't like the stronger signal ...

So - does anyone have VOIP connected to a network that has a drop amp feeding into the cable modem.
