No, not that I know of, but your signal will suffer from being on the other side of a splitter like that. Every time you split a signal, it's db drops. Modems are above the rest of the analogue channels so no matter what they're watching, it won't affect your signal. Sharing a connection, even on the bad side of a splitter will affect your connection though. Those analogue channels, and even digital can only take so much throughput. I should never be noticeable unless you're both downloading mega files from a fast server though. My cable line is capable of 200K/sec but I've only ever gotten that once from a provider. Usually I get between 20/50K/sec. The line should be able to handle two of you easily.
