I use Charter Communications as my ISP. At one outlet in the house I have a CTV splitter to connect to both a TV and my cable modem.
Worked well for 2 years. Then, all of a sudden, no internet service.
Chater finally asked if there was a splitter. When removed the internet service returned. Replaced with a new, more expensive splitter and all is well with both TV and internet.
Charter said that splitters go bad. Rarely, but it does happen.
Wondering how a splitter can go bad. Isn't it a simple voltage divider with an impedance match to 75 ohms? Are there capacitors in there that could go bad?
Thanks.
