Ok. That makes some sense. So the ONT is the fiber to Ethernet translation. From there I just need to make the Ethernet go where I need it to go. Router can stay upstairs. So I can either have them put the ONT where my coax ingress is (in my office) and use one of the in wall cat6 to get it to my hub (but lose that drop for my home office) or if they can install it somewhere else closer to the main router or on the unfinished side of the basement then I can run it wherever. Does the fiber to the house go underground? Unfortunately the side with the finished office and elec panel is the closest to the street with no obstructions. The other parts of my house have various things in the way from decks and driveways to pools assuming it needs to go underground.
That’s great to know. Do they run the cable underground to your house or do they do something different?
