Hello forum.

Last week I had an HDU I think it's called, installed. Powered three way splitter. As I was having trouble getting on demand/interactive in the bedroom. Mr Engineer came out, stated that the power levels were far too high in this flat, and that I would need an HDU to resolve the issue.

So he installed one. Then when he couldn't get the box working anyways, he decided to give me a new box. And voila, it works!

However, ever since my internet has been reduced to garbage. Engineer told me I'd need the HDU plugged in all the time, as I wouldn't get internet or the TV service in the bedroom otherwise.

But my internet is now suffering awful latency times, a lot of jitter, and occasional packet loss.

As some who quite enjoys shooting people on Call of Duty, this is becoming irritating. What can be done?
