No affordable gigabit coaxial modem available outside of router bundles
I’d look for a nearby vendor. In the EU it’s quite straightforward to connect with someone. They often have information on which providers are approved or restricted by local ISPs. A company that offers kits and handles installations can be very helpful.
Yes, you're correct. He requires a fiber connection coming in and a cat cable going out from the modem.
Absolutely, but based on the optimal setting I can achieve gigabit speeds without fiber, reducing it by 50 down to 940.
I have not seen a cat in install in years.... If it is cat in why do you even need a modem then?
They mentioned coaxial, so set up the modem for coaxial to copper Ethernet, then connect Ethernet to your router.
We have a lot of those available too, don't worry. Recently someone attempted to sell me 500 meters of cat 12 cables for connecting 12 security cameras in an apartment complex. It wasn't every floor—just the parking area at ground level, the elevator technical rooms entrance, and four perimeter cameras. I ended up needing less than 200... and that was after two failed attempts. Also, the price was about 50% higher than the average for the lowest-quality HikVision models.
I was unplugging unused cable boxes to cut costs, but the first thing they did was push me to buy a phone and claim I needed a high-speed modem for gigabit speeds. Around $200 plus monthly fees of $10 seemed too much. I thought, "Alright, I’ll handle it myself."
