Some clarity. From the street to the house (one cable) I'm sure there
is a splitter at this house access point. The rest of the rooms come
from there. No splitters in any rooms using cable.

So the issue of the health of the splitters is still in question.

Then it becomes a Larry, the Cable Guy question. ISP made all changes
when they installed service (it has been awhile). Some new cables for
TV, maybe not the "DC" (learned that today, hehe). I kinda recall them
putting new connectors on the cables at the house junction box.
Certainly a good point and will be inspected, perhaps bypassed with a
direct cable to the modem from the exterior box (I'm still reading).
Thanks

Based on this exchange, I would say that any further troubleshooting
should be left to someone who understands that a splitter in the house is
a splitter in the house. If a simple question ("Wonder if he has a
splitter in there?") can't be answered, then further progress is in doubt.
The answer to "Wonder if he has a splitter in there?" was "Yes." And if it
takes a professional to know that the answer was "yes", then no further
answers can be taken at face value, and yes, it apparently does mean a
professional needs to be consulted. Or at least someone who knows that if
a splitter is present, then the answer to a question about a splitter
being present is yes.

C'mon, Warren. Don't beat around the bush. Get to the point!
