Is it worth paying more for 5-2050 MHz or is 5-1000 MHz just the same.

Im looking to use a 2 way splitter for my virg bb and the eurovox max

Thanks for any help

If you can afford it, get the 5-2050mhz mate. The bigger the frequency band you can cater for, the better in respect of fault elimination and future proofing; the more data the CC's throw down the pipe, the more bandwidth needed for it all.

go for the 5-2050 m8,for the sake of a couple of quid its not worth the hassle of an inferior splitter

UK cable only goes upto 850Mhz and their switches are only rated upto 1000Mhz, so there's no need for the 2020Mhz splitter - although it won't hurt.
