I'll bet it's not.


It's not. Comcast tested the signal at the road when they recently
upgraded our equipment and it was fine. Our house sits back about 950
feet from the road and all the utilities, including the cable run are
underground. When they tested the signal at our house there was a very
small loss due to the length of the underground run from the road but it
was still within spec. The tech added a 15db amplifier anyway, just to
make sure there wouldn't be problems in the future.
