So i’m moving in my dads best friends house for college and to make a long story short.
CONTEXT: I used to live with him for my freshman year and he would always kick me out and wouldn’t let me use his wifi because he streams a lot of movies and for whatever reason when my dad and I come through his streams lag even though he has two kids on the PS4 all day. This is the same issue i’m dealing with today. He’s ok with me setting up an ISP but I don’t want to “kid” it up and do something I know nothing about so I did my research and from my understanding it’s ok to have another ISP in the house but I couldn’t find anything with regards to running a line into the house so my question is this.
He is using cox, I will be using cox aswell. Do I need to have someone come to the house and install a new line or I can use another coax cable that’s in the house. There’s one in my room so can I literally just plug in the modem and set it up or do I need to get a new one installed.
If there’s anything you think I should consider please feel free to let me know.
