Drops on 50mb
 

I was having drops on my 50mb, engineer came out ran some test and put a small square metal box on the back of the modem, cant remember exactly what it said but said something Db may 3Db or 6Db?

What is this and what does it do?

Sounds like an attenuator to me, I think it alters the signal strength as it passes through it - I'm sure one of our resident techs will confirm for sure though.

OK thanks, well he also left what looks like a huge PDA next to my TV so called VM and they said they will arrange for him to come back round and pick it up after 6 as I'm back at work now.
