Is Arris your ISP as well? If not, who?

Data line meaning to your building/house then to the router.

I've seen an optic line to a fiber media converter box in a business setting. Extremely quick. Expensive service, though.

Like f14tomcat and HyppsieGypsie wrote, Arris is a manufacturer of physical cable modem that some cable modem ISP like Comcast or Spectrum (formerly Time Warner Cable) use.

From Power pole to house, it's just a standard cable TV type coaxial cable that is connected to the Arris cable modem. Per modem, it carries 16 channels at around 570 to 700 MHz. Theoretically it can provide 1.2 Gbit/s of bandwidth (DOCSIS 3.0) per wikipedia DOCSIS - Wikipedia

I'm pretty sure that from the source to network switches near our block, it's run by fiber optic cables.

At home, we only use WiFi 100% of the time which is enough to provide over 300 Mbps throughput for 70% of our house area.

I've just went to their site and they've got the latest consumer DOCSIS 3.1 Modem which can easily transfer over 1 Gbps of bandwidth. Then again, I'd wait for at least 5 years from now before I see Gbit cable modem services in LA/OC area.

If you mean to post it, capture with Snipping tool (or other programs), save it to file, then use the "Insert Image" tool in the editing bar/ribbon at the top of the "Quick Reply" editing box.

Actually, there's no need to save the snip to a file, you can just copy it and paste right into the post.

With the snipping tool? I've tried that before and now. Didn't work for me. Exactly how is that accomplished?

Make a snip, right click on it and choose copy, Paste in the reply field here.

Unbeknownst to me why it doesn't work for me.
