The fiber terminates at the demarc on the side of your house. They call
it an "ONT" (optical network terminal).
From there it rides the coax you most likely already have in your
house. For internet you plug the coax into the router they supply
(Actiontec MI424WR).
There is also an option to run Cat5e from the ONT to a router of your
choice. I think they might use PPPOE if you use the ethernet
connection, but I'm really not sure.
The coax connection is faster than 100mb anyway.
