Default Cable connection for broadband & phone

I wonder if someone who has had cable internet installed in a house that has never had cable could give me some idea of what is typically installed inside the house?

I would like Time Warner Cable to install the box and whatever else is needed on the outside and run the cable(s) into an attic vent and stop there. I'll take care of it from there on. So I would like to know what is typically installed inside besides the cable modem. TWC cust service says another "box" but could not tell me what that box was. I don't want to wait until the installer comes out.

I'll be getting broadband internet and one phone line. The internet cable will be new, going to an office, so that should be straightforward.

The phone is in the other end of the house. I wonder if TWC can connect to the existing phone wiring outside or if they will need to run a separate new cable to the phone?

Thanks!
