What wiring/equip is used for new installs these days?
Neighborhood build out is almost complete thus should be available soon. Some attractive rates as well. Considering signing up when it's available...so I'm trying to figure out what equipment is used and how they wire it up so I can set my house up for a good clean install.
I have had fiber before via Verizon FiOS until I moved out of the area. With it it was fiber to an ONT mounted on exterior wall, and from there you could do Ethernet or coax into the home. My home was already wired up with Ethernet so I simply had a run already wall fished and jacked ready to attach to wherever they decided to mount the ONT.
Kinda hoping ATT does similar...but sounds like they run fiber all the way in and to their supplied gateway. I see a couple mentions of an indoor ONT, but nothing for an exterior one. Do they not have exterior ones? Is even an interior one easy to get or do they insist on you using their gateway? Last of all, anyone know what connector style is used?
Ideally I'd want an ONT and use my own router. I mean sure, probably could bridge their gateway so not that big a deal especially if it functions as an ONT thus same amount of equipment. Either way if I can't run Ethernet to an exterior ont like I did with fios and it's fiber to their gateway, I'd at least like a clean install, specifically and ideally, the fiber optic terminating to a keystone on a spare block on an existing wall plate, and patch cable from there to gateway. You think they wire me up like that or they just going to punch thru and run along walls directly to where the equip would sit?
