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?

If you are asking how internet service enters the home, we have either phone line delivery or coax cable. The modem does connect via RJ11 then is converted to RJ45 for distribution with either type of service. I can’t tell you which of the 4 conductors carries the data.
