FibreOptic Service
Fibreoptic service is available in my neighbourhood. I have been trying to get a straight answer about the conversion of the fibre optic signals (light) to the electronic signals which are required ...
The ONT has an RJ45 out port. This will connect to your house's main copper wire telephone box, which is how the old copper phone jacks throughout your house gets connected. You won't need to rewire all the phone jacks in your house.
There's a labelled photo in another thread that explains the wiring:
"Phone line exiting house" is the cable that goes (back) to the main phone box.
The only wiring involved will be:
- bringing the optical cable into the house and connecting it to the ONT
- connecting the ONT to your main phone box, via copper wire
OK... I think I finally got it... the ont is the optical network terminal which will be installed on our home and which will connect, presumably through our modem so as not to require a complete new rewiring job in the home.. Is that correct?

Yes, the only potential new wiring is between the Optical Network Translator (ONT) and the T3200M, assuming the fibre can easily be run to the location o the ONT.
