I'm renovating my whole house, including the attic. One end of my house is near the telephone pole where the lines come off the street, the other end is where my home office is. The closet in my home office has a networking wall, where all the equipment will be wall mounted, included any cable modems, routers, and ONTs.
I put a ton of wall mount low-voltage boxes in that wall so I can run everything to a nice clean port. Since I wasn't ready for my ISP when i started this, I made my own nice clean cable channel in the attic. And I put another box up in the attic right near the street side of the house. So if I get Comcast, all they have to do is drill into the street end of my house and plug directly into the existing coax port. The other end of that is in the wall in my home office.
I want to do the same thing for fios. I don't trust any of these guys to start drilling and running wires and all sorts of bullshit. But I don't know what kind of wire to run, and what kind of connectors? Hopefully they use something that has keystone ports available, so they can just plug right in to an existing port on the street side of the house, then in the office closet, mount the ONT and plug it right into the other end of the pre-ran optical cable.
Not that it matters for optical, but all of these data cables and all of the future ethernet cables all have planned out locations to keep them away from all of the electrical. It's really an ideal setup and i do not want comcast coming in and fucking it up. Or verizon.
