Make sure that if you use a splitter, your have good quality cable and ends on that cable. When I got my cable modem, I ran the line from the wall to a splitter and from the splitter to my modem and to my TV. Every night for no apparent reason, I would lose my internet connection for like 5 hours. I did some testing on one of those broadband websites and found that the problem was probably stemming from a loose or bad connection on a splitter. I took out my trusty leathermen multitool and tightened the cable ends on as far as I could get them, and the probelm cleared up. It was wierd too, when my internet connection was working, all the lower channels on TV were kinda fuzzy, but when the connection popped out, they were all very clear...

However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose vis-à-vis an introduction, and so it is my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V." - V
