Summary: Excellent quality to have cable and Internet on same cable outlet
Comment: A few years ago when our cable installer was here he said that the cable and Internet CANNOT be on the same cable outlet with a splitter. I took him at his word, but then I found out he was wrong. You just needed a particular type of splitter, and this is one that works well.
I always use gold plated connectors to improve signal quality, and this was a good choice for the price.
It comes in an impressive blister pack which has to be cut open with a box cutter, which can be annoying to some. It also includes two screws to attach it to the wall.
Overall, I'm very pleased with the quality, and I usually try to buy either Monster brand cables/connectors or Acoustic Research because the quality has never let me down nor have I had any trouble with any of their products.

Summary: No big deal
Comment: It is a nice looking video splitter, nothing more. At least I did not notice any improvement in signal quality when using this AR product. So, it's not clear what the "high performance" in this product means. Less noise perhaps or less signal degradation. Compared to my previous "ordinary" splitter, the signal looks fairly the same. So, no big deal!

Summary: Works like it should
Comment: Short Review- Replaced my old 1000mhz splitters that my cable company gave me and my ping/download speed greatly improved. Before I was at 24000 kbps from speedtest.net, now I am at 30000kbps. My upload speeds also increased but not by much.
Great build, great quality. 24k gold contacts are a nice touch for my 24k gold coxial cables from acoustic research.

Summary: Great product, great price
Comment: I almost did not purchase this product because of previously poor reviews; however, I saw that the Acoustic Research 3-way splitter, identical to this one in every way except for the number of connections, had received very good feedback. So I decided to take a chance on this one, and I'm glad I did!
Contrary to what I had read from another reviewer, this splitter did not cause any signal degradation. I am using it with two digital cable boxes and good-quality coax cables, and both signals are strong; the picture and sound are crystal clear despite having been split into two. The purely digital and premium movie channels I subscribe to also are perfectly clear.
I should mention that I did contact my cable company before installing the splitter to ensure that my signal strength was strong enough to work with such a device. They assured me that nine times out of ten, the signal strength coming into a house should be strong enough to split at least two ways and usually even three. Perhaps the one-star review of this product came from someone who was that rare one out of ten people with weak signal strength?
Since this splitter costs less than many others (such as Monster) and works just as well, I don't see why anyone would want to buy anything else. Go for it!
Customer Rating:
Summary: signal quality no better than $2 splitter
Comment:
I bought this splitter because I was having problems with low signal quality after a split on my digital cable. So I replaced my inexpensive splitter with this fancy shmancy one and..... the picture got much much worse so now I'm out twelve bucks.
