Badly deteriorated Coax will affect the connection. However, since the connection is digital small deviation will not be noticeable.

Cable/DSL Speed Patches.

Is the cable used just regular RG-6 ?

I think its your regular tv coax, its black unless the installer runs different cable from the brodband terminal box whitch is about 40 yards away.
Thanx for the help & the links good stuff!

Charter Cable, here in Wisconsin. The tech replaced the drop to my house just because it was drooping, he put new cable all the way to the comp room. Talk to the installer/tech that comes out. Most are pretty good about the questions. I followed my guy all over and just asked questions. That is how I knew I was the only Pipeline(internet) connection on the closest node. Not anymore though.

The cable is RG-6. Nothing special.
