Connection

[Tommster]

I'm changing cables I've just changed over too RG6u. I'm unable to get connection. What is the reason.

[legacy1]

Are the cables from/by VM?

[Whitey1]

No there not from vm.

[legacy1]

Then don't use them.

In which case, you have either used the wrong cable or not fitted the plugs/connectors properly. There is also a non zero chance that you have introduced noise into the system and have compromised your neighbour’s connection - and no it’s not entirely an urban myth, it can and does happen.

You are probably going to have to call VM and book a technician visit, as this is a sort of self-inflicted issue, they’ll charge you £25.

Did you make the cables up yourself? If so, there’s a danger that the it is not cleanly segregated between core and shield. RG6 cable, properly set up, should work fine indoors.

If you have a multimeter you can check that the core and sheath don’t short circuit.
