There used to be is a modem of sorts on the wall where they connect into the house wiring. It looked like a analog phone line on the house side and connected to the cable on the other. Supported 4 analog lines. Then a year or 2 ago they changed the service so that it now uses a cable modem with a built in backup battery and 2 analog phone ports next to the ethernet port. I have to assume it's digital as I can't imagine there's any analog in a modern cable modem.
