Their technical term is "RG"-residential gateway. My brother in law installs Uverse so I know quite a bit about the technicalities of installs from talking to him.
They can run ip connections over the coax or cat5. I've changed my internal subnet and just rebooting the tv set top boxes got them going again. The whole thing runs over just 1 pair back to the neighborhood box which has fiber direct run to it. When AT&T is prepping new subdivisions where new houses are being built they run fiber direct to the house now. I just wish they'd get the bandwidth upgrade done in my area so I could have more than 2 HD streams. It's coming, they're doing it other places.

I have the DVR running to the processor via Coax, another set top box on coax and a third set top via a pair of copper. The phone, coax, and Ethernet can all hook up to the processor (home router). ---- Eric Pingel Network Manager Lake Bluff School District 65 epin...@lb65.org On Oct 18, 2010, at 12:03 PM, JimHays wrote: > Eric > > Thanks for the info. > > > Eric Pingel wrote: >> sorry - att uverse - very happy >> >> and all the att "free wifi" spots - your uverse ID gets you access >> to them as well >> >> and the new uverse 300 package that allows streaming to an iPhone - >> fun features >> >> ---- >> Eric Pingel >> Network Manager >> Lake Bluff School District 65 >> epin...@lb65.org >> >> On Oct 18, 2010, at 11:34 AM, JimHays wrote: >> >>> Eric.
