5.0 out of 5 stars Monster Splitter - Abracadabra! It Worked!, November 22, 2008

Fredric Pierce (Huntington Beach, CA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Two Gigahertz Low-Loss RF Splitters for TV & Satellite MKII - 2 Way 2 GigaHertz RF Splitter (Electronics)
I am normally a bit cynical about the performance claims of companies like Monster Cable. I'm an engineer, I want to understand exactly what is happening and the slightly fuzzy, "oogy-boogy" nature of some of these claims makes me scoff.

BUT...I am amazed at what this little thing did for me!

I spent a good 5 hours on phone calls with my FiOS service provider trying to figure out why my super high speed internet connection was intermittently stopping and going super slow and then hitting its speed limit. My family was getting pretty irate. (It's funny how totally dependent we have become on the internet.) I hate electronic problems that are not repeatable. They are nearly unsolvable. The very helpful customer service reps led me through several attempts to fix the problem. After thinking it was fixed a couple times, the problem reappeared. The last rep (logically) concluded that the only component that could be flakey was the wireless router and he sent me a new one. Didn't fix it.

I was getting extremely frustrated. I figured there had to be some very slight fault in the cables that wasn't bad enough to cut off the signal, but bad enough to interfere with it. So I swallowed my skepticism and decided to try replacing the standard quality splitter that the FiOS company installed with one of these Monster 2-way splitters, because that was the simplest first step.

Well, blow me down! The problem is gone. I have my screaming fast internet back, and everybody is happy!

I guess there really is a meaningful quality difference! Monster, I believe!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Good build quality - not much performance advantage, July 28, 2009

This review is from: Two Gigahertz Low-Loss RF Splitters for TV & Satellite MKII - 2 Way 2 GigaHertz RF Splitter (Electronics)
I've been having problems with my cable signal, and I tried a few of these splitters to see if that's where the problem was occurring. Replaced the 15 year old, cable TV company supplied splitter with the Monster, and while it certainly seems to be a more robust product, in the end I saw no performance difference.

Indeed, my cable modem (Motorola) has a diagnostic mode where it can display the strength of the incoming signal. I measured it on the old splitter, switched to the Monster - and see exactly zero difference.

Still, considering that my local electronics store no-name brand is about $15, I don't feel bad paying a few dollars more for the Monster product. It certainly seems more rugged, and I doubt I'd ever have to replace it again.

Bottom line is I'm sure it's doing what it's supposed to, but there's no magic to be had by simply swapping out a splitter.

5.0 out of 5 stars Monster Splitter - Works Great!, December 6, 2010
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Two Gigahertz Low-Loss RF Splitters for TV & Satellite MKII - 2 Way 2 GigaHertz RF Splitter (Electronics)
I purchased this splitter since I was starting to have trouble with my cable modem. I normally do not buy monster products since I think they are over priced but, I do believe that they make a high quality product so I decided this splitter would be good to try. I had a 3 way splitter from the cable company that had been working just fine. However, signal strength seems to have degraded so I tried a 900Mhz 2 way splitter. I was still having problems so I decided to try this splitter. The problem I was having is that the modem would drop out and not resync until I disconnected my cable TV side of the splitter. The cable modem would then resync and I would reconnect the TV side. I may have to do this several times before the modem stayed working.

I chose this splitter since it was rated for 2Ghz so that any attenuation ( lower signal strength) at the high end would be lessened and thus give a stronger signal. After I received the splitter, I waited until the problem occurred again. I used the Monster Splitter and all has worked well. I did try reconnecting the old splitter and the problem immediately re-occurred.

I am sure that my problem is related to my cable modem starting to go bad. The real "fix" is to replace the cable modem. I did buy a Docsis 3 replacement modem. However, I have not gotten around to replacing my old modem since I hate dealing with my cable supplier to authenticate the new modem.
