> [@97FormulaWS-6](#): > > I had problems about a year ago with my service, started getting almost the same problem you are having… turns out the wire from the pole to the house was in rough shape; the TV signals still worked fine and looked good, but the connection for the HSI sucked. They re-wired my entire house in about 3 hours for free and now I’ve not had a problem since. FWIW… the drop cable to your house is supposed to be good for only 10 years or so. If yours is older than that, you can get a drastic improvement in picture quality and internet reliability by having it replaced. Also note that upon first install, there can often be problems like this. Usually they can be resolved with one service call. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/dial-up-cable/24371)._
