Any experience with REV fiber internet/TV in BR?

After experiencing a 5 day internet outage with Cox over the holidays we are switching internet services to REV. They ran fiber to our neighborhood over a year ago.
No data caps, upload speeds not throttled to 10MBPS and from people I hear that have it, better reliability. We have had several outages with Cox this year and the customer service is abysmal. Wife is WFH so uptime is important.
I'm curious how their TV service works. It looks like there is a wireless access point that has to pair to every set top box. Does this wireless stream interfere with the existing Wifi network for data or is it the same frequency?
TIA for any input.

Fiber internet is amazing (like going from dialup to broadband) but go with a streaming TV service

Got it early in my neighborhood.
Love it but had eatel before which is REV was merged from.
Fast, reliable, and great service. I have only internet since I cut TV programing to streaming service.

There is 0 reasons to stay with Cox if you can get Eatel.
Eatel pros:
Local company
Plans ~$ per mb but no data caps
Higher upload speed - better for WFH to make it faster to upload files
No modem required to be bought/rent
Not Cox

Different 5GHz spectrum. Won't interfere with home WiFi.
You won't regret switching. Going from traditional coax to fiber is damn near like going from dialup to broadband
