yep, but the engineer just kept insisting the signal levels are fine, and that its only -7.1 he would expect problems.
made it clear he wasnt going to do anything... I mentioned i was under the impression nearest to 0 is best and he just made a remark bless their cotton socks and laughed.
said he wouldnt be supplying a HDU, and left.
now, because ive had 2 engineers down who wont do anything.. previously 100mbit support was agreeing with me -6 was borderline and sending engineers.. but now they are just saying there are no problems, and they arent inclined to argue with the engineers oppinion and left it at that.
Thats why now im fed up with bothering with them, and more inclined to do something about it myself.
besides an RG11 repull, and HDU nothing more an engineer can do, as im the only person on the tap, and im already probably on the highest tap.
the setup is, im connected to a tap inside a pit about 4/5 houses away down the road.
then that tap pit is connected to a tap cabinet accross the road about the same distance again.
which is why already i have a bit of a weaker signal, because im connected to a pit and not a cabinet... normally id guess the signal would be fine, but its the amount of devices I have, and the 2 splitters which are causing me to loose 10 dB.
So, if they arent going to give me an RG11, and I cant be moved up on the tap, only solution left is to source a HDU myself, and remove 1 of those splitters. Which should then like you say give me a healthy signal...ive wasted my time calling them up complaining and getting engineers down who seem to be useless.
