I had difficulties a couple years ago as well with new house on old
property, new wiring. My issue was with splitters, cable ends and signal
loss. Took 3 techs coming out before they finally took out a meter and
figured it out. I had 5 rooms to hit plus the office where the HSI
needed to go. Without having cables marked, my office ended up having
too splitters between street and cable modem and so much signal loss
that at times it was a crap shoot.

Re-rigged to put just one splitter between street and modem, using good
splitters that tech gave me, re-cut all my cable ends (ones run in the
house were terrible apparently) with ends from the tech, and increased
SNR to cable modem by a factor. Almost no problems in almost 2 years
since, other than that Phx wide router issue a while back.

RG-6 is the "minimum" requirement for Hi Speed internet and digital/HDTV. Cox uses RG-6 and fiber optics beyond that. I am not sure what part of town the "problem" are still in, but there was a period of time that the areas of town with overhead lines and real old burried lines were suffering the most. When Cox rid itself of @home, they tried to change from Cisco Routers to Juniper. After several weeks of issues, they went back to Cisco. The only issues I am aware of now are the old wires which are being repaired until they can be replaced with fiber.
