I need some advice on internet install
I asked this in the AT&T forum but it was removed. I will probably being getting ATT fiber internet installed next week. I know absolutely nothing about it. Please explain things to me very simple as I am older and not as tech savvy.
- I am looking at the "AT&T Internet 500 which offers speeds of 500 Mbps. It is just me in a 2500 sq. foot house. I will be using it for working from home, streaming and a Ring security system. Is this a good package for me?
- What will the installation entail? The front of my house is approx. 100 from a power pole and about 150 feet from the other power pole that has the bigger box. I am the first house on one side of the street. I have read that they have to dig a trench and then will come back and bury it a week later. Is this true? I do not want to have to worry about my dogs messing up the line before it is buried.
- Where is the best option for the line to come into the house? Is it like a cable line? I have plenty of holes drilled for previous cable lines that are not used anymore.
- Does it matter where the modem is installed and do I get to choose the location? Will one location give better speed than another?
Sorry if some of this is incorrect or irrelevant but I want to be prepared. I hate unexpected problems.
Thanks!!!
