they are not planning on replacing all the wiring inside your home. What they are planning on doing is running a fiber line to the side of your house, called a "drop", similar to what you already have except it is coaxial cable.
The advantage is much higher bandwidth which gives you faster internet because you are no longer "sharing" bandwidth with other cable users. Plus it opens up bandwidth for a ton more HD channels.
The disadvantages to this would be they may either make you pay for the drop (which I doubt), or increase service rates. Either way, it is expensive to the provider and they would have to make it up somewhere.
DHCPACK is a confirmation for the acceptance of the DHCPOFFER from the Client. DHCP Server Sends DHCPACK in response to DHCPREQUEST to renew the lease time or to confirm the allocated IP address.

What connector is used to terminate Ethernet unshielded twisted pair UTP cabling?
The connector used to terminate Ethernet cables is called an RJ-45 connector. They are the clear plastic connectors you see at either end of an Ethernet cable.
Also known as a serial cable; typically with 9 or 25 pin D-sub connectors.
What router is compatible with a dell inspiron 1100?
The Dell Inspiron 1100 does not have a built in wireless adapter. You would need to add one by USB or PC Card if you wanted a wireless router.
For a wired router, any 10/100 router connected by a CAT5 cable would do, which is almost universal compatibility.
rollover cable
Any computer or electronic device that is used to serve up digital music through a network or over wireless to end devices or "clients" would be considered an Audio Server. In general terms this could be anything from a home stereo to a more complex home theater PC (HTPC), to the system of computers that would power a massive audio distribution company's online website - like the cluster of computers needed for Apple's iTunes store.
What is the need for load balancing in distributed computing?
WAN link Load balancing is a session-based process of directing Internet traffic among multiple, and varied network connections to help ensure optimal WAN performance. It requires a single WAN link controller located at the main site located between gateway modems/routers and the internal network, and intelligently load balances and provides failover for both inbound and outbound traffic among the network connections. Assuming there are two ISP connections, both network connections can be used at the same time. The benefit here is that you don't pay for bandwidth that is only used as a backup for when an outage occurs. For example, traffic will go through network connection one. If the WAN link controller detects that connection one is over taxed or failed it will direct users across the second ISP connection. Intelligent WAN link controllers will continuously spread the traffic across the network connections based on the available resources. For example, with two T1s, it will not wait until the first T1 is over utilized before sending traffic out the second WAN, it will make use of both lines evenly.
Which type of cable standard uses a 9-pin connector and supports data rates in excess of 800mbps?

What are the edges in the overlay network?
Edges are the connections between peers. One edge is the connection between two peers, regadless of the physical links between them. Therefore one edge could connect a peer in Lithuania to a peer in Argentina.
What do you do with a Mac address?
The Media Access Control - MAC Address is a number, created by the manufacturer, which identifies your computer on a network. If you have a wireless network, for example, you may want to add the MAC address for each computer you want to connect to the network, and tell the router to only allow these computers to connect, to prevent unknown computers connecting to your network.
