Hello all,

 

just a quick easy to answer question.

 

 

 

I just got call from a Slinghsot person who tried to get me to switch to them for Internet and possibly electricity / mobile.

 

 

 

Their internet UFB offer includes a "modem". I'm currently with Big Pipe and when UFB got installed at my home by Chorus, the installed a white box inside the house (ONT I beleive) which I connect with my router by means of ethernet cable. There is no "modem" involved.

 

 

 

Any idea what they mean by "modem"?

 

 

 

Cheers,

 

Andrew

They mean a router. The person at the other end is either dumbing it down, or doesn't know the difference.
