They run it to your house & drill thru the wall & install a wall Jack.
Doesn’t need the telephone or cable box. New router connects to the new wall Jack.
The router is the BGW 320-500 model

I've had cox for over 45 years or longer. We cut them off for a year and went with DISH for TV but kept RiP off Cox for internet. Well, when you drop the TV, then you internet goes up. it was still a little cheaper. But then after a year, Dish went way up even though we had a two or three year contract we signed up with at COSTCO. So after the first year, Dish came up another $50 saying WE HAD TO BUNDLE on the 2nd year. I refused to pay only what I contracted for. And it took them three months to disconnect me, The they turned me over to collection for the three months I only paid ane the wanted that extra $150. NOPE.. ain't paying. Went back to COX and put up with all their reruns and lousey programming. Now Verizon has come out, but not in the area I live in. I think we are going to drop and just stream NetFlix, Hulu, and or Peacock. Heck I can get along with just YouTube to keep me entertained and educated!
it's a smaller cable than the RG6 Cox uses and they will run it up to the house, into the attic and down to wherever you want your modem/router. Pick someplace central for best WiFi.
How's the quality? Any jitter latency issues?
Not that I've noticed, I have the one gig symmetrical plan due to working from home. Need the upload, which Cox continues to cut and gets pissy when you use what you have.
Somebody missed the joke...
Hi, my name is Tanstaafl and I am addicted to cox internet. It has been over 23 years that I have had their service in Yukon Oklahoma and this monkey on my back followed me into NW OKC. Their service was excellent up until about 2019, but went downhill from there. In Yukon I had instances of throttling down to 20 mb/sec or slower during business hours. I moved in 2020 and currently have instances were for a half second service slows to 2 or 3 mb/sec from over 400 mb/sec. This happens almost daily. At least once per week I have some sort of an outage. AT&T will not be in my neighborhood anytime soon, and I suspect that cox's issues stem from old infrastructure. Other option I have is 5G internet, been exploring that but fear that it is two slow in my area to do what I need. "Lord, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change...
Seem to be doing that a lot lately not that I'm getting senile or anything, guess I better change coffee brands /sigh/
Way better than Cox ever imagined being. Cox would go out for a few minutes to half a day. Hard to work from home with that, so switched to ATT fiber 2 years ago and never been happier. ATT hardly ever goes out, and when it has dropped off it's been a few seconds to a few minutes. I think it's been out a couple hours (2-3) maybe 3 times in 2 years.
They will put the outlet wherever you want it. Fiber to the house, copper from first box to modem.

I have the AT&T fiber and I love it. If you had AT&T DSL you can get the 300Mbs for the same price.
I got rid of Cox several years ago and went to AT&T DirecTV streaming on a ROKU and never looked back.
