Hey everyone, I’ve decided to get cable internet at my place, as Comcast has started offering pretty high speeds at my address. My current internet is coming in to the house via telephone line at 15Mb/s which isn’t cutting it for me.
My question is this: Will a house built in 1992 have the proper coax cable needed to get the speeds that I am going to be paying for? I’ve done some reading on RG59 and RG6, but I have no idea what a house built in the 90s would have had installed. If I do end up requiring RG6 cable, would there a temporary solution to getting my internet up and running? For example, could I run new RG6 cable from the cable box to my modem without having to rewire my house? Can the cable be run outside?
Any info would be appreciated.
