So I just had to end my contract with the cable company because I was a cheap dumbass and went iPower for my veg room. I should have known because the 1st one blew out on me within a day or two and had to be returned (took the bulb with it too). Shit sparked and smoked and made this scary electrical noise, I'm no electrician, but I think it was a compromising situation, lol.
Anyways, I see the cable van drive by and no internet connection all of a sudden, so I'm like "wtf?" I call them and the chick can't really tell me shit, just that it is only my spot that has been disconnected due to interference with someone's TV or Internet down the street. So at this point I'm pretty pissed and I'm like "can I speak to your supervisor or head technician?" I'm talking to dude and he is sayin some shit about a internet "leak" and I'm thinking "fk! Should have stayed a lurker!", but then I realize "wait, wtf am I trippin on? I run a VPN and I'm legal". So dude goes on "blah, blah...internet leakage... Blah... FCC plane..." And I'm like "FUCK!!! FEDS!!!", so I tell dude to eat a dick and cancel my service, disconnect everything and hop online via 3G and see wtf is going on. Damn I'm a dumbass. So I ended-up ordering another Quantum to replace my iPieceofshit, order a RF meter (just to be safe) and a grip of coax covers and ferrite beads and whatnot.
Anyways, Quantums say they are FCC approved, but I'm not taking any chances. From what I gather the lower the Hz the farther it travels, so my Hertz need to be high, very high, apparently Quantum has the highest Hz for electronic ballasts (I have magnetics for backup, but really rather not fk with them).
So any electricians, techy's or cable guys out there who have some insightful tips, tricks or sound advise for us laymens? I just had oral surgery and the medication has me out of it, so I'm slowly piecing this shit together, a lot to learn.
