internet- changing from phone land line to fibreoptic
This is my second try at getting this forum to work. wish me luck.
the forum has serious technical problems.
phone calls and emails to telus- nobody could answer simple questions.
there is a utility pole at end of our driveway - i assume it has fibreoptic.
does a cable have to come down the pole, go underground until it reaches the house?
when it comes thru the wall of the house, what is on the inside?
is there a box that needs power?
as we do not want cables all over the house we will need wifi.
will we need a new modem?
if it installed in the garage how do we get wifi to the laptops and tablets?
hopefully the chromebook will still work!
anything else i need to know?
thanks fellow sufferers.

Thanks a lot!
Anon125 Need to know is your telephone & power o/h--- or---- u/g---- goes to house first or to seperate not part of house garage first then feeds house. you can check your address on telus site to see if fiber available in your area. Ask your neighbour. Is your basement finished and do you have internet service now and who is it. I will try to help
power o/h--- or---- u/g---- goes - what happened?
garage is part of house.
fibre is on pole at end of driveway.
crawl space has furnace in it.
i suspect the big ugly "router" has to be on the wall of a bedroom.
one story house
thanks
Anon125 Does your power and telephone come to house overhead or underground o/h u/g. Is power panel in garage give location of install of fiber . Where the fiber enters the house an ont ( optical network terminal ) is installed (needs 120volt outlet ) then you connect the router whitch can be anywhere inhouse by a cate 5 internet cable. This could be a closet or office area central to house if possible needs 120 volt. Check your address with telus google to see if fiber is in your area or town ask your neighbour Are you shure fiber is on pole.
