What kind of wire does AT&T Fiber come into the house on?

Telecom Fiber is made of glass and is not a "wire."

I would be surprised if they actually did a fiber drop into each house. I've pinged a few of my co-workers who may know exactly where they drop from fiber to cable in each circuit. Will update if/when I hear back.Edit - talked to some co-workers and they said that they usually DO run a fiber drop to the house. At the DMARC box (outside the house), it converts to CAT-5, CAT-6 (or coax sometimes) and then that medium continues inside the house. You can open the DMARC box and verify what you have.However, I just found this Youtube AT&T gigabit installation that shows fiber continuing into the house ... so I guess I'll just shut up now! :Dlast comment - here's a better video youtube AT&T into the house

Having "fiber" in your house is not very useful as you likely will not own anything you can plug it into ! I hope that the installation would include a router/switch with at least 8 Gigabit Ethernet (1000Base-T, backward compatible with 100Base-T) ports. Both use the same RJ45 plugs.To achieve 1000Base-T throughput, you should purchase good quality, pre-made, CAT-5e or CAT-6 cables.gkainz wrote:last comment - here's a better video youtube AT&T into the houseYes, much better ! The ONT converts fiber to copper. You supply you own switch/router.

On our area in Ontario many of the internet ISP's have fibre right into the house.

Depends on where you live. "Fiber" doesn't always mean fiber optic to your device or property. Often the term "fiber" means from the HeadEnd to the Node servicing your street of block. From the Node to your home may be CAT or Coax wiring. In a new neighborhood or one where government or customers are wiling to pay, the fiber may be brought to your property. You may also find fiber to your NID and they use that as a distribution point for your neighbors via wires.

I have Cincinnati Bell Fiber Optics and it comes to my garage where it plugs into a contraption that is plugged into a power outlet and then feeds cat 6 to my router.

I've been very happy with it for 4 years I've had it. Speed is more consistent than cable (Spectrum in my area) and I have only had outages when I've lost power.
