The splitter for HS internet is different than for cable only. It uses the
same cable but the old cable isn't always up to specifications. I've read
many times where someone tried to use a regular department store splitter
for HS internet and had numerous problems. The cable company *should* run
the cable and hook it up. Most do around here. They won't hook your
network up, though, and they won't help with a router or a firewall.
Luckily it isn't hard to do yourself.
