![]() A straight RG6 run is necessary to each TV box – no splitters after the TV distribution panel. Google Fiber Jack, RG6 run to TV panel, old TWC connectionĪ CAT5e cable connects the fiber jack to the Network+ Box which has RG6 output to the TV boxes at each TV location (MoCA). He also ran a new RG6 cable back to the TV distribution panel outside the house for TV service. It was then another few weeks before they started scheduling installations, but I was able to get the installation scheduled on the day after they started in my area. Installation was fairly smooth – the installer placed this fiber jack in my home office next to the incoming RG6 cable from TWC. Soon after, a team came and installed the network demarcation point (NDP). The day Google announced they’d be accepting new installations, I signed up for installation of both TV and internet service. And, not surprisingly, AT&T also ran their Fiber service shortly after Google Fiber was installed in our area.Ĭonstruction made quite a mess of the neighborhood – we still have paint from the utility labeling throughout the development – and it was almost a year that we had to wait between when they buried the cable, and when they announced service availability. Within a month of Google’s announcement, Time Warner announced the launch of their MAXX service in my area bumping speeds to 300/20 for which I promptly signed up. Working from home, it was imperative that I had solid internet service, and the combined cost of Time Warner Cable’s internet service and Dish Network had me thinking about making the switch when Google Fiber became available. Having moved from New England, I desperately needed to be able to watch the Red Sox and Bruins, something being a Dish “mover” allowed me to do. Since moving to Charlotte, NC, I had been a Time Warner Cable (now Charter) internet customer, and a happy Dish Network customer for the last 15 years. In early 2015, Google announced they would be blanketing Charlotte, NC in fiber to support their Google Fiber internet and TV service. ![]()
