I'm going to go with signal loss. Most, if not all, splitters are going to cut the signal strength in half on either side of the split, plus a bit of extra loss for the extra connections.
Your cable/ISP should support having your cable modem on its own connection, which they have wired and prepared specifically for your modem, and you should not mess with that connection. If you are trying to re-use a dedicated cable modem line to split it out to TV to save some wiring from your actual TV hookup, take my advice and don't. Many cable companies put a good bit of effort into getting the signal strength just right for a cable modem.
I know mine ran a whole second cable in from the pole and spent a good bit of time fiddling with filters and signal strengths to get the modem exactly in the middle of the ideal signal strength range. I'm a good distance from the cable company, though, so signal strength was already a concern. Installation took 3 hours, but I haven't had a single outage in well over two years, and my signal and latency have been top notch. And that's on my own really old (5+ years) DOCSIS 1.0 modem, no less.
