I'm not sure where in the Villages you are talking about but in the newer areas where Centric Fiber is the provider, the fiber optic cable comes into the data cabinet in the garage then over to the top of the kitchen cabinets. There the fiber is connected to a "box" that terminates the fiber and provides the router and WiFi functions. You will also see a blue ethernet wire from the top of the kitchen cabinet that runs back to the white data cabinet in the garage enabling you to install an ethernet switch and feed the rest of the ethernet jacks in you home if you connect it all up.
As one poster mentioned, the Centric WiFi is pretty good and should cover most of your home but if you have jacks behind your TVs and or desktop computer, the internet will work better and more consistently if you hard wire these devices.
