I have Comcast Cable TV and Internet. Will this impact the bandwidth/speed of my Internet connection?

I don't know for sure. My cable would not work at all when connected through Tripp Lite. Kind of defeats the purpose.

No it won't. It is 99% passive. (Note: anytime you add connectors or cable to any installation you can suffer signal loss. However this is not even measurable on this device).

No. It does not interfere with mine. I can only assume it filters high voltage spikes that would occur if something came in from the street. It does not hurt to have whole-house lightening arresters in your breaker panel. Ligtening surge protectors are inexpensive, but must be installed by an electrician. They connect to the hot leads from the meter, a source of unlimited amerage; that's not something a homeowner should attempt.

I have comcast 120/11 and I get around 80/10 even though it says its connected at 270mb/s in the power line utility.

I would expect it too. It did a great job boosting both my cable tv and internet signals. I couldn't get HD channels on my bedroom TV before hooking up this booster, and I was dropping internet all the time until I installed this unit. No problems since!

It depends on your home internet provider. I have Time Warner Cable's standard internet and I max out at 18.4Mbps. First do a speed test on www.speedtest.net. if you aren't getting a minimum of 10Mbps, then talk to your local provider to upgrade your internet speed. I can view YouTube videos in full 1080 p and download a 25MB app in about 5 seconds.

absolutely not, this is an internet router and has nothing at all to do with cable tv, except for the fact my internet comes threw the tv cable line from time warner, i dont even have a tv, just a computer and monitor. the cable companies have you over the barrel you have to buy or rent a box for each additional tv.

It really depends on the Internet speed you have at home plus the Internet speed where you are using it. We have 10 MB/s at home, and I have seen a few interruptions but nothing major. To us, it's well worth it

From what I understand comcast only deliveres a refresh rate of 60hz. The tv up converts it to 120 so we are getting the 120 refresh rate of 120.

Yes, that was the reason I ordered the cable as my router was about 20 feet away from my TV and my wireless speed to the blue ray was only just about adequate for HD. However, whilst a cable connection will provide a faster speed than wireless the quality of reception will also depend on the maximum internet speed you have.

No, comcast is cable, unless Comcast is offering DSL in your area, it is not compatible.

I don't know about the cable modem issue but the signal for my TV through Comcast is greatly improved for my bedroom. I couldn't receive only one or two channels before I put this in and now everything works as it should

Ya it will help the speed but only do much, the true speed will depend on your location and the bandwidth they offer in your location. Like I am in a really small town right now and it's garbage speed

I agree with Awalker, Broadband and cable are two different animals. No matter what modem you have, broadband will be much slower than cable.

It will only increase your internet signal connection so if your internet was slow because of weak signal it may help but if your deivce/internet it self is slow it will remain the same

I have Comcast and two different a-b switchers, both of which will allow the TV to hold its station memory IF you remember that Channel 3 or 4 (whichever your cable box feeds into the set) is the active cable connection. I have no idea what happens if the cable box is HD - using the HDMI connection.

It is an interesting question that people ignore. The output you get on the screen in totally dependant on what the quality of the signal is going in. In the computer world there is a term, "garbage in garbage out." Consumer guide used to specifically test how TV's interacted with a cable input. I do not see that they still evaluate this signal input issue. The reality is that all signals are far from equal. I have Cablevision in NYC and find the signal abysmal. I am in a apartment building where the signal is being split 90 times and it is obvious the signal is extremely devalued. My brother in NJ gets Comcast directly into his home and his 1080P picture is the best I have ever seen. In general there are two issues which you may not be able to control, the inate abiltiy of the specific TV to process a cable input and the quality of the signal. I hope this has helped. It is my understanding that satellite and Fios are by far the highest quality signal. Cable is a crapshoot.

No. it only boosts broadband signal. Which would be internet and cable signal from a coaxial cable.

Not particularly make sure your cables are cat5e at the least and that your internet speed is running okay
