Do you mean the NTL junction box? I think they only installed an attenuator in there. I don't think it's an isolator. I might be wrong, but I think the little in-line gizmo has a metal construction like the one on the back of my modem (I had a strong signal), so that wouldn't isolate the screen.

If the coax cable screen was isolated from the network, why do I get the buzzing noise on my speakers when I attach the coax screen to the modem?

Hmmm, I'm confused.
