Your question was answered ...
The building is fed by fibre from the CO to an HFC node in your building.
The units in the building are fed by coax to a Motorola box which acts as a modem and telephone and TV splitter.
The outputs of the box look like normal TV coax, internet RJ45 and telephone RJ11 cables. |

So my question still stands. Does it get fed via phone, coax or a new line? |

I think they are continuing to do that with the buildings that already have fiber.. when i go to that website , in the bottom i see this when i put my postal code..
Internal use: VDSL
you are right though .. i dont think they are adding this type of service to more buildings .. but for the buildings that already have it , they are still provisioning on it. |

said by makkaoui  :This is not IPTV .. something similar though .. its TV over VDSL .. I have it in my condo.. basically there is a COAX that comes our of the Basement (Fiber terminates in the basement) ... the coax cable goes in a motorolla box in my living room .. out of the box comes an ethernet cable for the internet and TV .. its pretty decent .. but i cant get HD on mine. There is no satellite in this setup .. the TV signal is sent over fiber to the building. I haven't heard about the TV VDSL service for sometime now and I don't believe new installs are using this either since they have to be fed with fibre.
It's a lot more cost effective to install one larger dish and feed the entire building instead.
