independent of the data throughput. Basically think of it as turning down
the volume on the radio. All the music is still there, it's just quieter so
you have to listen closer. Your TVs and cable modem have a certain threshold
in which they can "hear" things and IIRC most cable companies will send out
enough signal for at least 3 devices. So if you only had the one TV or cable
modem, it would effectively be like the signal was shouting.
But I'm not an engineer, so I could be off. And the guy here that WAS a
TV/cable tech had stopped doing it by the time cable modems came around.
One question, you say that the tests were 220/44 or so. But you call it
"kps". Is that kilobits per second or kilobBytes per second? I'm going to
guess that it's kilobytes (KB). That's what IE shows. So if you multiply
those by 8, you get 1760/352. That looks pretty good, actually. My cable
provider only allows 128Kb up and you appear to be getting 352Kb.
