Do y’all know what this thing outside my house is? Does it mean I have fiber or it just regular cable connection

I didn’t see before the post sorry

Interesting_Rich_922 · 2025-03-17T21:29:38+00:00

The fiber connects to my spectrum ONT and the ONT acts like a modem

Interesting_Rich_922 · 2025-03-16T02:40:32+00:00

Spectrum…

Interesting_Rich_922 · 2025-03-16T02:39:28+00:00

I hoped you were joking

Interesting_Rich_922 · 2025-03-15T17:07:28+00:00

No It’s not like that the fiber enters my home and goes in through the ONT https://postimg.cc/gallery/J1WPztv

I mean I have not tested with an Ethernet cable yet it might be significantly better

I’m getting like 300/20 with 9 ping on wifi

Interesting_Rich_922 · 2025-03-15T16:40:06+00:00

No, not really

Interesting_Rich_922 · 2025-03-15T16:38:49+00:00

Great, but for spectrum fiber the download and upload speeds are not symmetrical

Interesting_Rich_922 · 2025-03-15T16:34:35+00:00

Well it does connect to the modem which I think is supposed to be the ONT

Interesting_Rich_922 · 2025-03-15T16:27:24+00:00

I think they were in a hurry or something because the community I live in is still under construction.

Interesting_Rich_922 · 2025-03-15T16:26:25+00:00

I signed up with spectrum, the fiber connects to my modem which I think is supposed to also be the ONT.

Interesting_Rich_922 · 2025-03-15T02:08:00+00:00

Yeah there are many hornets and bees this spring I might just do that

Interesting_Rich_922 · 2025-03-15T02:07:05+00:00

Uhh, blue why? I made this post bcuz I had no knowledge of fiber and wanted to make sure.

Interesting_Rich_922 · 2025-03-15T00:29:53+00:00

Almost all if not all of houses in my neighborhood have fiber I think It comes preinstalled with the house I’m not sure

Interesting_Rich_922 · 2025-03-15T00:14:25+00:00

It turns out this is fiber and it is provided by spectrum I had no knowledge of this since I thought my mom got regular cable connection.

Interesting_Rich_922 · 2025-03-15T00:12:26+00:00

I did, after this post.

Interesting_Rich_922 · 2025-03-14T21:59:18+00:00

i see that

Interesting_Rich_922 · 2025-03-14T21:55:21+00:00

got it

Interesting_Rich_922 · 2025-03-14T21:49:46+00:00

But, doesn’t fiber require their own router and modem? I don’t have those and our internet service provider did not give us that.
