Why is Toronto Masters called Rogers Masters?

Rogers home phone subscribers in toronto - what's that black box they install?

• Ok so right now I have dial-up and soon I want to switch to DSL. I have Rogers home phone service (in Mississauga, GTA) - no Rogers TV or Internet - and last year the Rogers guys came to our home and installed this black box thing. It has LEDs with "TEL1" "TEL2" "ONLINE" "DS" "US," "LINK" "POWER" "BATTERY" (exact labels) indicated on them. Is this a modem? Cable or DSL? Because then I could save myself money on buying the modem. Otherwise, what is its use if I don't have TV or Internet from Rogers? And does this box convert analog phone signals to digital or anything like that? I need to know what kind of phone signal I have to subscribe to my DSL provider (and it's NOT Rogers). And the box has a thick wire that's coming from the wall (land line?) connected into it and it is ALSO plugged into a standard phone line (the wall socket) if that helps. Thanks for helping out.

• Answer:

  The box you are describing is a cable telephony modem, used by rogers to convert the digital phone signal carried through the rogers cable lines into an analog signal that can be distributed through the phone wiring in your house. This phone terminal is only useful for the home phone service, and cannot be used for Internet access.
