Getting Fiber Optic Installed.

    So Im getting Fiber this week with pure telecom. I have the 24mb broadband and now upgrading to 70mb fiber and it works out 12 euro cheaper so no complaints :p

    I assume they have give you a new modem for fiber but I currently have my modem (Black eircom modem from when I was with them) in the living room beside the "family computer" with an RJ-11 coming from the hall. The "family computer" is connected by RJ-45 then I have the modem connected to a TP-link router upstairs in my office which is well out of range of wireless with another RJ-45.

    My question is will I have to change any of this when I get fiber installed during the week?

    Edit: Sorry if what Im asking is unclear, I just kinda jotted all this down as it came to my mind :p Feel free to ask clarifying questions :P

    They'll put the socket for fibre where you want(within reason) but you need to tell them before they start or they'll put it by the front door.
