[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1051362, member: 176704"] Just be a bit "careful" about removing that splitter - or at least mentioning it to any VM engineer who has to come around to fix something (although I doubt that the latter will ever be needed) - as it might be considered to be breaking your contract with VM by "interferring" with the installation. OTOH, effectively did the same thing myself a few years ago and that increased the signal to my modem as well , and there's never been a whimper from VM as I never needed to call them in to fix anything - apart from a phone line damaged during the installation of the exterior wall insulation. On that occasion the phone cable had to be shortened and rejoined at the point of entry through the wall - and the VM guy was perfectly happy to let me do that myself, and so gave me a new VM wall box and some gel connectors before he left! :D They are pragmatic people! :D [/QUOTE]
