Mine is HFC. And because the area is rock the lines and 'boxes' are 
suspended in air. So for my area it is a small box on the house with an 
isolation balun then 75 ohm coaxial cable to the box in the street 
suspended between poles that carry power and lighting as well as the 
internet.

Mainly because I don't know what these 'distribution points' really are.
