In the US, how is your internet connection terminated in the home?


Hello,
I’m based in the UK and I’m trying to find out how the internet connection is terminated in the US.

For example, assuming a wired connection via copper, in the UK we use RJ11 wall plates with the dsl signal on pins 2 and 3.

I know that in Europe they use RJ45 with the signal on pins 4 and 5.

Please can you advise how the service is delivered in the US?

99% of the time, a coax cable is connected to a DOCSIS modem, which in turn is connected to a NAT home router.  For very new connections, fiber is available.
