I have to disagree here. I have never been able to get any modem to work 
on RG-59. I have even gone as far as to run 59 from the rg-8 that Cox 
runs outside and just use a splice, not a splitter, and still no 
connection. I have 2 splitters on my home and Cox claims I have a bunch 
of signal loss on the hi side(what ever that is) and my tv is fine. I 
still get 364 days connectivity and 4mbps dl speeds. My upside is good 
as well and I also host an ftp, http, https, and vnc services on 6 of my 
boxes and I have no issues. I have been using cox since 1999 when they 
had the original internet service here where dl was over cable and 
upload was over phone. I have no complaints whatsoever, I just avoid 
speaking to level one if there is an issue. I have lost connectivity 3 
times in all these years due to router changeouts, they went back to 
cisco routers instead of juniper. That was when they converted from 
@Home to cox.
