Motorola NVG510 has a telephone port that supports two line, but three
pairs appear in the jack, so I'm sure the third pair isn't connected to
anything. So that appears to be used for the same thing that Comcast does
with VoIP. If the subscriber wants to use existing inside wire, it's
disconnected from the phone company's drop and backfed from any jack.

Would AT&T U-verse VoIP be installed in the network interface box outside
to avoid back feeding? Do they have a mini version of the terminal adapter
to split off voice signals?

Comcast reserves a specific channel for voice so you certainly get more
bandwidth than other options, and it doesn't rob your general Internet
connection, but it's still overpriced $33 per month bullshit if you
subscribe to television.

I'm getting 2.84 Mb/s down, 0.48 Mb/s up, same as DSL, paying $15 per month.
