I have more than two computers at home and need to share Internet simultaneously. Can I do this with a standard Fibre MODEM comes with the service?

The Optical Network Terminal (ONT) located within the property by default can have up to four Ethernet ports to use for connectivity. If you cannot connect all devices directly to the unit, you can connect a wireless/LAN router to the ONT to perform this task. The wireless unit has to be purchased.

No. Your old analogue MODEM will not operate in your Fibre connected home.
