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!! |
Works Great!

I have a VOIP phone connected to a router on an Internet connection that was split with the Cable TV. The problem was that my phone wasn't working properly--my voice kept cutting out to the person I was talking to.
After determining the problem was with my Internet connection, it was further determined that the phone worked fine when I removed the splitter that I had, took the TV out of the mix, and plugged the Internet connection directly into the jack in the wall. So the problem was either going to be with the splitter or there just wasn't enough bandwidth to deal with a TV, Internet, and VOIP phone.
I bought this splitter to see if replacing the splitter would solve the problem. I plugged the sucker in and packet loss is now zero. It's all good. Best $20 I ever spent. |
Very Satisfied

I bought this to replace an old crusty splitter I had for ages. I'm glad to get rid of that ugly thing.
The picture I get is just as good as the signal I get when I hook up the cable directly to the TV. I see no loss of signal strength. Overall, I'm very satisfied. |
Splitter???? More Like A Duplicator!!!!!!!!

Can't tell a difference in signal. This IZ tha best I've ever used..I'm about to believe that the picture got better after the split..I used Belkin Pure AV RF cables with this Gold Nugget.
This is more than just a 2 or 4 dollar splitter..This has a Computer Chip inside that has (In My Opinion) duplicated the signal....Truly A Monster.. |
Works great

| Needed a high end splitter for splitting for a cable modem and video. This little guy was expensive but works great. |
