No razz77, it is black, and it is can't be placed as a set top box, it should be as close as possible to the junction box.

In my case, the junction box is on the other side of the wall behind my TV. So they drilled a hole to get a line through for the IP TV. I have my own complex network at home which requires using my own routers. So I added another LAN cable from the new modem to my own router.

One more thing, they connected a LAN cable from the new modem to my second floor. I am not sure if Qtel plans to add a second wireless access point upstairs.
