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?


Are you getting the internet from TWC and I am not sure about how you are
getting the phone. Is that a standard phone or an internet type phone ?

The cable will come in to just a junction box outside the house. From there
it will be a run of rg-6 type cable to the office where you can either use
their modem box or you can buy your own modem for about $ 25 and often save
about $ 5 per month rent. You will also need to be where youcan plug the
modem into a 120 volt outlet.

If the phone is comming from the internet connection, there will be a modem
type box for that and it can be placed anywhere the cable is and probably a
120 volt AC outlet.

The other box is probalby just going to be a TV type splitter.
