    Then you are FTTN unless its coming DIRECTLY INTO YOUR HOUSE! in which case it would be FTTP

    Look in your basement (or where outside utilities come into your house. If you have a box similar to this you have FTTP):


    There are 2 types of those boxes. One as seen here are used by cable TV. The other has an Ethernet cable coming out of it where the TV cable is. That box translates the fiberoptic light signals (fiber optics use light rather than electricity to transmit data) coming on the green wire to electrical signals used by your TV, telephone and computer (thus it needs that middle connection for power).

    If you have no such box, you have FTTN style fiber communications.

    There is nothing wrong with FTTN. The only real difference is that that little converter box is contained in a central place for your neighborhood. You should get the same performance. FTTP is simpler and cheaper for new developments to set up because they need to lay down less cabling. FTTN is done when fiberoptics are introduced into existing communities.

    So i checked everywhere and i realized i have the FTTN if u want i can show you where my grandma used to live ( now the house belongs to me. ) is basically in campaign and the fiber reaching here is pretty awesome considering for the position i am.
