I may have missed this but I have a suggestion for a Sticky for all the terminology that is used in connecting ones property & computer to the internet. Whether this is dial-up, ADSL ADSL2, ADSL2+, VDSL, UFB etc. The abbreviations and corresponding names and explanations for all the distribution boxes, connection boxes (external/internal), street boxes, filters, cables, modems, routers etc.

I know there are some very knowledgeable and techie people in these forums but likewise there are allot of average "Joe/Jo Blow" who know nothing or are limited in their understanding and when we/they ask a question sometimes the terminology and abbreviations in the answer is not understood or are misunderstood.

An index of this terminology in a SINGLE POST would be great.
