Very rapid primer and to answer the OPs question your STB receives all the data that is being sent to your local area on the cable internet frequency (can't remember exactly what it is on CoCo networks). Your STB will receive the same amount of RF but will have to complete decoding of more of it at 1.5Mbit than 1Mbit.

The Pace boxes have only the 1 CPU shared for both cable modem and internet, the Samsungs have 1 for each.

Shouldn't affect your TV but if the Paces are pushed too hard may affect Internet. TV again unlikely to see disruption as it gets a constant data stream on all TV channels.
