John they are pushing the wireless router. The fiber terminates into an Optcal Network Terminal,this is where it is converted from an optical signal to elctronic. There is and RJ 45 in the ONT, and they run a CAT 5E to another RJ near the router. From the router they will hardwire, but they are supposed to charge after the first computer. Many of the guys have not been charging as they have not been given pricing, or training on the new laptops for the billing part. Also supposedly you need to use the supplied router if you get the video, it has something to do with "On demand". I don't see it though. John there are some customers using the higher end routers like Ciscos, etc. You can use your own.
They are presently working on many towns in SE Mass. The projected completion date for the whole project was 10 years. That was from 1 year ago, and it did get off to a slow start, but who knows..
