the box is for cable, phone, internet.... whatever else it can do..

 

 

So its a signal splitter... as well as a Modem?? One line comes to your house into this box, it splits the single data stream for TV, phone, and internet... but technically can't it still be considered a modem??? It's taking one medium of data transfer and changing it to something a computer can understand...so its acting somewhat like a modem acts with a phone like (dial up), cable internet, and DSL (over a phone line)...

 

Q: Does FiOS require an external modem? (#13322)
A: No. FiOS is wired to your home, then converted from Fiber to Ethernet (copper) and travels to a jack installed by the Verizon Technician during installation date [see this FAQ]. You then connect your computer's Ethernet card (or router) to the jack via Cat5 (or Cat6) cabling.
