Hi there!
I'm switching from Shaw 300 to Telus Optik TV and Fiber 300 internet.
I'm unsure if I will be able to get it done and here's why...
I have the fiber connected to the side of the house by my garage (They offered to do this for free a couple years ago when they installed fiber on the street in case I ever wanted to switch).
My Modem and main TV hookup are in my living room running off of a Coaxial connection (Shaw 300 and TV).
For various reasons I need my new Telus modem/router in the exact same spot in the living room where the Shaw router is now and bridged to another router. (I'm told my smart dns settings for BBC iPlayer can't be used on a Telus modem).
My problem is I'm told the installer must run a different type of cable to the Telus Modem/router from my garage to my living room and that's probably not going to happen. as my house is completely finished and I'm not sure how you'd do it cleanly. Is there anyway they can use the existing coaxial cable inside my house that I use now for Shaw cable?? Would there be a significant performance hit? Or maybe it is just not doable?
If not what are my options if any???
Thanks for any help you can give.
If you need more info please ask!
