If/when you do upgrade, consider re-terminating the basement work. One
less-than-optimum termination can degrade the signal throughout the
building. We use a Comsonics test unit to troubleshoot and optimize
b-band cable for our customers. It's absolutely amazing how much the SNR
and BER improve as poor quality terminations/splitters are replaced in
the process.
If there is enough interest, I'll write up a howto on broadband cable
residential distribution.
