The fibre optic cables that gets installed to your home, is it a RJ11 cable or RJ45 ethernet? Therefore would you need a modem as well as a router?

While this is true, most (if not all) providers will install the fibre modem as part of the installation and you just need an ethernet router to connect to the fibre modem (which is usually called a CPE).
 
In short. You just need RJ45 cable to connect from your router WAN port to the CPE.

Your router dont need a modem, most recent wireless routers come with a WAN internet port to configure depending on your ISP either account authentication (openserve) or mac address authentication(vumatel).

What on earth is a fiber modem?
It is a transceiver that used in a CPE. There is no modulation and demodulation taking place. Modems are used for analogue to digital and visa-versa
 
Some VDSL routers can handle fibre. If your existing ADSL router has a WAN port (also a RJ45 socket) then the fibre modem will plug into that. You then tell the router to use the WAN interface instead of the DSL interface

ONT, many people simply call it a modem.
 
Is the rj45 gbs capable ? Cos the modem telkom gives is 300mbs wireless and each ethernet port is 100/10mbs
