It's not exact, but every time you split the cable you cut the signal by approximately one half. This can also be affected by the quality of the splitter, connections, etc.
Broadhopper, it definitely sounds like your problem is not the Metrocast signal itself, but the wiring. If it were me, I'd start with fighting the battle over who is responsible for the wires underground in the association. (You would need to check deeds/docs, but in most instances, this is private property and therefore the responsibility of the association). Until you fix the signal quality coming from the street, you are wasting time and money and will continue to be frustrated.
I don't think Metrocast is the villain here.
