| Cincinnati Bell Fioptics Hardware Installation I am going to sign up with Cincinnati Bell Fioptics here in a few weeks, but wanted to retrofit my home’s cabling to support HDTV, Broadband, and Home Phone service. I was going to run both coax RG-6 Quad Shield and Cat5e cabling within my home to support anything I get, but I found a video on Youtube for AT&T’s Uverse installation »www.youtube.com/watch?v=xf0eiet5eAI that has his set-top boxes using network cabling versus coaxial. I wanted to know if the Cincinnati Bell Fioptics service can do the same thing. I don’t want to run coaxial cable through my house if I don’t have to.
I also found out that whole house DVR service is only available on Motorola Set top boxes. I was also told that the set-top box that will be installed depends upon my service area (which I don't understand either). the CB customer service rep I spoke with when I first inquired on a few things couldn't tell me if I was getting a Cisco or Motorola box. He simply stated that it depends upon my service area and the installer will give me one or the other. I guess it would be nice to know if I will be getting a service that they are advertising or not.
If anyone has any technical information on the CB FIOptics installation, I would greatly appreciate it. |
