I lost teh internets two days ago, figured it was my 10 year old modem based on what tech support told me. Just went and swapped it out with the latest and greatest and no dice. When I replaced my septic in late October we knowingly dug through the line, and I spliced a new section in before backfill with the $$$ compression terminals and a heatshrink over the top on each end. I've done it several times before without issue. The coax comes up the side of the house and then splits off in 3 directions. I'm pretty dumb when it comes to this stuff and don't really know how it all works on that level. I'm used to primary distribution cable that can be rung with a jumper between the bleeds and conductor on one end and meter on the other. I assume this is the same if I can find the other end? Is there any way to test the cable to see if I'm getting a "internet signal" from the cable at the house?
