Cable companies are still doing coax for new neighborhoods and even overbuilds in 2024, for some reason.

Their staff knows how to run coax, how to troubleshoot coax and how to
repair coax. To do something else, they have to hire and/or train
staff for it and then have enough of it in their system to keep that
staff in practice. How many _new neighborhoods_ does the cable company
wire up in your locality each year?
