Usually means a weak signal unless you have a bad modem (90% of the time it's a weak signal). Your modem needs a LOT more signal than your cable box.
Did they come out and wire it or you do it yourself? They need to come out and put a special splitter outside and run a dedicated cable to your modem. The special splitter sends more of the signal to the modem than any of the TVs.
