[Discuss] Extra splitter (OT)

[edwardp at linuxmail.org (edwardp at linuxmail.org)]

The recent thread regarding RCN, reminded me of the AT&T BB installation 
10 years ago.  They installed an additional splitter (two-way) with one 
cable going into the cable modem and the other cable going into another 
splitter (three-way) going to the TV's.  At the time of the 
installation, they also installed a filter on the other cable going from 
the two-way to the other splitter, but eventually Comcast removed it as 
it was no longer required.

With the technological advances made since then, is this extra two-way 
splitter still required today, or could everything now go into one splitter?
