Sorenson VP-200 Use Without Account

ah I finally checked out this thread.

hmmm I see..... the usual pissing match...
 
Modem - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A modem (modulator-demodulator) is a device that modulates an analog carrier signal to encode digital information, and also demodulates such a carrier signal to decode the transmitted information.

Fiber optic is 100% digital, not analog. I got all of you, three SOB. :laugh2:

I can't believe that you passed the courses. I suggest that you ask your teacher about this issue. I bet that s/he will tell you that you are wrong and that a modem is designed for dial-up, DSL and cable, not fiber.

My professor didn't address about relation between modem and fiber optic, also cable TV uses fiber optic too.

My major in IT isn't completely focus on networking.

FTTP?

Anyway, when I said that a router is required for a VP, DHB corrected me that a modem is required for a VP. I agree as long as it's DSL or cable modem. Since fiber doesn't use a modem as fiber experts said, my router (not a gateway) is routed to my VP. Then he said that a modem is installed outside, I don't know wtf he's talking about. I told him about ONT which he called a modem. Really? One fiber expert said that an ONT can't be defined as a modem which is designed for analog system, not fiber. When will he learn? Wiki explains it clearly.

Yes, it is FTTP.

More cable companies offer 50 mbps to 100 mbps now.

Most DSL modems have limited router capabilities and you have to put modem in bridge mode if you want use own router.

At home, routers are strongly recommended for VP.
 
LOL days of analog is pretty much over, buddy everything is now digitally.

Don't you know telephone lines no longer analog these days. They are now digitally, STILL DSL calling them Modem anyway, DSL stands for Digital Subscribe Line.

Even cable, they no longer analog, they are now digitally... HDTV? HTDV can't be analog, they are 100% digitally.

You are too crazy over brand names, my thinking is just generic so that anyone can understand the basics.

You can argue all day, and all weekend, me getting too busy for this shyt. Have a great day AND weekend too.

OK, let's talk about HDTV. Do you know that for several years, FiOS won the best video quality due to 100% pure digital fiber optic technology? Cable's video quality is really poor on HDTV because it's not pure digital. I already witnessed it when I helped my friend to change CC settings in her STB provided by a cable company.

Moving on...

Comcast also offers fiber internet -- for businesses only. (Xfinity includes fiber but is not a true fiber optic network.)

As for Cox Communications, there's little info on fiber so I guess it's not a true fiber optic network, either.

Smile, not thermite grenades but the rest is what we do as well. We also have what called Hard drive crusher, which is like a metal press but it will bent all in different shape and render useless.

It shows "Smart Home Gateway" (three words). Do you know what it is? It doesn't mean a combined device (modem + router) which is called a gateway (one word).

Read it carefully.

Actiontec and Verizon Team Up for a Smarter Home

For example, I went to work and realized that I forgot to schedule TV recording for that night so I used a smartphone to log in verizon.com to schedule it. Bam! My DVR recorded it on time. That's what a Smart Home Gateway is.

There are many systems that have a Smart Home Gateway. One example; ADT Home Security System If you forgot to close the garage door when you drove out, you can use a smartphone or whatever to have it closed automatically. That's what a Smart Home Gateway is.

Smart Home Gateway means a combined device (modem + router)? :nono: In other words, your are so fu*ked. :lol:

Relax! You said it doesn't say "gateway", and I pointed out that it does. That's it. I didn't say anything else.
 
Guys, I'm going to chime in about cable modem, the term of labeling cable modem in the Actiontec M1424WR. As you all aware about the fiber optic terminate (ended) at the house connected to the ONT box. Now the output from ONT box support three ways, Ethernet, coax and phone cables. As you know that coaxial cable are widely used through out the house. So, in the ONT box, in order to bring the fiber optic to coaxial cable which simply need a converter (not a modem), convert from light source to electrical transmission. and that coax will travel to the back of the Actiontec box. Now here come the word "modem" in that Actiontec box... coaxial cable need to "demodulate' to the router because it need to decode the digital signal processing into router/switching systems, then the signals routed to all the Ethernet ports.
Make sense?? Agree?
Ok, now suppose if we want to have 150 Mbps internet speed FIOS?? Coaxial cables will become useless. Coaxial cable have limit speed. That is why ONT box have Ethernet port and have to run the cat 5 or 6 cable from ONT to the back of the Actiontec WAN port. And now that "cable modem" in the box is no longer use. It will become inactive.

I hope this will answered all the battle above.

So it's confirmed that an ONT is not a modem. Thanks for pointing it out.

Yes, it makes sense to me but at first, I thought my Actiontec box was a gateway (modem + router) until I read that FiOS doesn't use a modem in the system. WTF is going on? FiOS and Actiontec say it's a router (didn't even mention a gateway). I will email to Actiontec for clarification.

Of course, you are correct. FiOS installer hooked it up with existing coax cables to my STBs and router since I pay for 25 mbps (and it made his job easier :lol:).

I checked out Google Fiber hook-up. I like it the way it's hooked up compared to FiOS, however it requires a lot of work to install the cables inside the walls. It would be perfect for a new house construction.

https://support.google.com/fiber/answer/2667494 The Fiber Jack is an ONT.

https://support.google.com/fiber/answer/2667456 The Network Box is a router.

https://support.google.com/fiber/answer/2667498 The Storage Box is a 2 TB DVR hooked up with an Ethernet cable from the Network Box. Nice! I bet its video quality is awesome. Coax cable from that box is connected to the coax jack which has two ports on the back of it obviously (acts as a two-way splitter) since the box has one coax port. One of the ports on the back of the jack goes to another coax jack with two ports in a different room where a TV Box is located and so on.

I'm not person to label ONT as modem because they are network device, similar to DSLAM.

What's long, crazy attack.

Directv is 100% digital and the picture quality is excellent, except for during bad weather.

Does it still deliver compressed signals? If yes, that's not good.

Yes, most HD channels are compressed to save the space and more room for bandwidth as well. The picture quality is very good, even better than HD channels on cable TV in our university. Directv is optional for people who don't have cable or fiber optic in their area, especially my area.

No one give a perfect HD channels and Verizon does have some complaints from customers about HD.

I understand that you have only one choice. Do you also use DirecTV for internet? Why don't you move to one of those cities?

If you don't want to move out, then pray to God that Google Fiber will come to your area someday in near future. :)
 
South Carolina is finally catching up:

Nexton to be state’s first ‘gigabit’ community

By SCHuyler kropf and JOHN P. McDERMOTT

Posted: December 19, 2013

Get ready because the Internet is about to get a lot faster for some of the region’s newest residents. The Nexton project — a planned 4,500-acre mixed-use community on the northeast side of Summerville — will be the first in South Carolina to meet a federal challenge to provide the fastest, highest-capacity broadband connections.

MWV Community Development and Land Management announced the program Wednesday, saying every part of the site near Interstate 26 and Highway 17A will be wired end-to-end with fiber-optic technology from project partner Home Telecom.

The service will be marketed as “GigaFi” and promoted as the most technologically advanced community in the region.

How fast will it be? The Federal Communications Commission has defined gigabit communities as those that offer one gigabit-per-second service, or about 100 times faster than the average fixed high-speed Internet connection.

The service is already available for commercial businesses, which will be among the first to move into Nexton. The first residence is not expected to be finished until the end of next year, on a pace toward more than 9,000 housing units expected to come.

Companies that want to move large data-rich files quickly, such as medical reports or engineering studies, would be ideal users. It will be ultra-fast.
The offering “really puts South Carolina on the map as a state ready to support the growth of tech development businesses,” said Ken Seeger, president of MWV Community Development.

Nexton has already been chosen as the future home base for the South Carolina Research Authority.

The private user cost wasn’t immediately available. Gina Austin, marketing director for Moncks Corner-based Home Telecom, said she anticipates the retail price being less than $150 a month for residential service, while the service’s business rates were still being developed.

“We don’t want to offer this and set a price too high for anyone to be able to purchase,” she said.

Speed and capacity are becoming bigger issues for both Internet providers and their customers, as more people download videos, photographs, TV shows, games and other data that chew through bandwidth. Speed is also being encouraged by the government. At a U.S. Conference of Mayors meeting this year, then-Federal Communications Commission Chairman Julius Genachowski called for at least one gigabit community in all 50 states by 2015.

“American economic history teaches a clear lesson about infrastructure. If we build it, innovation will come,” the commission said of the demands and the future.

“The U.S. needs a critical mass of gigabit communities nationwide so that innovators can develop next-generation applications and services that will drive economic growth and global competitiveness.”

Every entity within the Nexton footprint, including businesses, schools, medical facilities, engineering labs, libraries, commercial enterprises, and residents, will have access….
