I have Bright House and since the router is plugged into the surge protection system my only concern is if something happens through the cable and again, as I understand it, they have the responsibility for that protection. I talked to both an electrician and the cable guy about routing the cable through the surge protector and both said it would degrade the picture. Being the expert I am (I have swamp land if you believe that) I chose the whole house and secondary surge protection and will take the risk with the cable. Next investigation will be lightning rods.

What's the difference between what Pike is going to do and what SECO does? Is one bette than the other? How much is PIKE? What's the difference between at the Meter and/or at the Panel?
Thank you.
