Long story short: cable internet (using Motorola SB 5120 modem) with Comcast sometimes get extremely slow download speed. After many tests I found the culprit is the outlet from wall. There are total 4 outlets, 3 are connected to TVs and 1 is dedicated to the modem. If one outlet is disconnected from TV then the download speed drops dramatically.

Tech support from Motorola said there are faulty splitter in my home. I take his words as true and want to identify which splitter is faulty. At this point the tech support from Motorola and Comcast are not helful anymore. How could I do that? thanks.

Try posting you query in this forum:

Comcast service reps are on that forum and may be able to explain and help you.

I would just call Comcast directly. that's a service issue, they'll come out test/replace the splitters for free.
