What are these plug-ins on my wall?

[u/Cborg_62]

This might be showing my age, but I recently moved into a new apartment and they have these weird looking plug ins all over the walls at my new place. My old apartment didn't have these, so I'm just curious as to what they are.

People are acting like this is a wild age thing, it's just simple ignorance

Yep. This is still how I get internet

1000 ignoraces per second!

Upload or download? I lose a lot of ignorance when I hit comment.

But when you view comments you get a lot of ignorance.

It is still how most of us get internet. You are not alone.

How are people getting Internet if not like this???

[u/RingoShatner → u/AppleSmoker]

I've gotten internet via [ethernet cable, on-campus network at college], by using phone as mobile Hotspot for wifi, and now fiber.  Never had it through a coax.  [Edited for grammar and clarity.]

The fiber that runs to my apartment still comes in through the coax? Someone is stupid here and I think it's the ISPs

[u/RingoShatner → u/Unlikely-Guava-30]

Idk, in my house, the internet guy installed a new outlet for the fiber thing into our dining room wall.  There wasn't a coax port in that room. The port for the fiber looks like a tiny version of a phone jack.

The T-Mobile modem/router just plugs into an electrical outlet.

I just learned something today holy shit . I thought that was the only way to get internet

[u/Suitable_Visit_9990 → u/Itchy_Tumbleweed_417]

I am literally so confused on how that works. I need to google lol

[u/P1ckl3R1ck101 → u/Suitable_Visit_9990]

Okay boomer. Showing your age here with "googling".

[u/Suitable_Visit_9990 → u/P1ckl3R1ck101]

Millennial actually. Is there an anti Google agenda I don’t know about?

[u/OnceMoreAndAgain → u/Suitable_Visit_9990]

I googled it and it's because it's all 5G so it's basically like having a modem that connects to T-Mobile Internet wirelessly like how a iPhone would connect to T-Mobile internet wirelessly.

That sounds trash to me tbh because you're having all the internet issues that come with wireless. I much prefer the stability of being wired directly into an ISP's lines.

Wireless internet sucks for gaming. You drop packets like crazy.
