AVoip will work well with a solid internet connection with low latency. is that what you are tryign to achieve? I would go ahead and try your drop amp, chances are, it might not really improve much, its ultimately rogers (or your local cable co) responsibility to ensure your modem is communicating properly with the cmts. Even though you can adjust your amp, you might end up amplifying more "noise" back to the line if you do not know what you are doing.

I have an excellent signal from Rogers at my demarcation point ... for various reasons including the number and the length of my runs, and the number of devices, I suffer a lot of loss in the house. My goal isn't so much to improve the Rogers signal but rather to eliminate the loss.

My goal is to boost the incoming 55-1000hz signal that goes to all my devices, and to eliminate any loss on the 5-42hz return signal that goes back to Rogers (which typically, without amplification, can be as much as -10db and even more) which is necessary to ensure I get max bandwidth, and for the proper communication of whatever 2-way devices I have - as explained a couple of times before.

It seems logical to me that signal loss would cause problems with VOIP and therefore amplification to eliminate the loss should be a good thing.

However I've read otherwise on the internet but I don't know if I trust the sources.

Paolo; I know you've got the theoretical knowledge, but I'm actually looking for someone who has the actual experience of operating VOIP within an amplified network. No offense ... but it's not particularly helpful to tell me that I can go ahead and "try something" ... I'm looking for someone who has already tried it. Thanks.
