My ISP is cable. Called and said they needed in my house to find the source of the signal that was affecting everyone else in my neighborhood. Literally nothing had changed and my house has been connected since 2010.
The tech arrived and I had them start outside. He replaced every connection/coupling and kept testing. After all of them were replaced, his testing machine showed a perfect signal. Noise eliminated. I was not charged for this service.
I found this baffling. My neighbor’s coax connections affect me?
I had cable internet for about 9 years, no issues at all, one day the isp truck came by and disconnected my connection at the street pole end without any warning. ISP said my connection the cause of the signal interference to my neighborhood cable internet issue. The tech tested the cable from the street pole to my house demarc. The connector at the street pole end is rusted and there were sign of water get into the cable and turned the cable into an antenna. They ran a new cable replaced that segment. Everything was okay since. I switched over to fiber now.
