On the morning of May 31, 2007, the fiber optic phone line was installed to carry the Phone, Internet, and TV:

A box was attached to the side of the house that splits out the Phone, Cable and Internet signals, and wires were routed inside through the garage.

Since the fiber optic line does not power the phone, a power box, with backup battery and phone, was placed in the garage.
The phone lie was then connected to the house phone line from this unit.

The internet cable comes inside and connects to the router, which includes a wireless connection.
