Another reason might be is that a filter was added to main cable line (your cable lines outside of the house).
Usually, when you get broadband added to your house, they remove the filter so you could get optimal connecting speeds. But I don't see a reason why they would add a filter as opposed to removing it.
And yes, having longer coax cables do add to the problem.
