There is an aerial cable that comes to this splitter (from the left) that splits out two cables. The one powering my modem is the one that’s damaged.

I’ve been having internet issues during the day for the last few days (I live in the northeast US, so very cold right now if that’s relevant). It’s only during the day. Internet speed is VERY slow when it’s connected (<10mbps download, <1 upload) and it is constantly disconnecting. But at nights internet is normal with no interruptions (160mbsp download, 10 upload). I had a tech scheduled to come out to fix the cable today but the guy never showed up (I could do it on my own but don’t fully trust myself with it) but it seems weird it’s only happening during the day. Is this actually the issue?

The other cable from the splitter goes nowhere, so is not an option. This is a rented house so there’s only so much I can do.

    Just to chime in as a LV engineer. Not only is it in a bad spot and rusting, it’s a 1000mhz swept coax splitter. Aka old af. Replace with 3000mhz in a jbox.

      I’ve never seen splitters go up to 3000Mhz. 2500Mhz is the highest I’ve seen.
