Confused about Gigablast modem
I am having the Fiber optic Gigablast (960mbps) installed in a couple of weeks. I have the Fiber ran to the house and have an appointment in early september. Here is my confusion, the phone rep informed me about needing a cable modem with a Docsis 3.1 to met the standards for the GiG but when I when to the store the rep said I don't even need a cable modem as long as I have a Router with GiG capability. The store rep stated the installation would come with a box (which I don't have to pay for, scary) that converts the sign from the fiber optic so that the router can use it and no modem needed. What which is it modem or no modem.....installation $100. Please clear up my confusion...my current modem (CM600) will need to be replaced if I need a modem. thank you in advance, buddy2.8KViews0likes3CommentsInstalling Coax myself
So I moved into this new house on the first and I already had Cox prior to moving in. Since this property was remodeled there are no coaxial connections in the house. I live in San Diego so there are no technicians able to enter the property for who knows how long. I am currently stuck with ATT because they were willing to enter the property to install but they only offer 75mbps which is a major nogo. I am looking at installing the coax myself and run the line outside so a technician can hook up service for me. Does anybody have any tips for specific materials to use? I already know I need fish tape and there are drop boxes in the rooms already.429Views0likes0Comments
