How does FPB telephone service work?
Your current telephone company provides telephone service over copper wires that attach to a network interface box on the outside of your home or apartment. Other competitive local exchange companies simply lease these same lines and resell them. FPB local telephone service utilizes its own advanced electronic switch and fiber optic network that allows the telephone service to be delivered on the same coaxial cable that delivers your video service and high-speed Internet access. Our skilled technicians will install a modem termination device (approximately 8″ X 10″) on the side of your home near your current telephone box connection. The modem termination device will connect to the current telephone wiring inside your home to provide dial-tone that uses the same telephone outlets that are being used today.
