Re: I assume RG6 for in-home cabling? Correct, quad shield. Comcast should install it, aand you should expect them to. I think the install charge will be $99, unavoidable. |

My office doesn't even use it unless it's already in a house. A good RG6 will work fine. We can even make 59 work if it's in good shape. Otherwise, it gets replaced if we can.
2. I do installs all the time that are free, 19.99, or 29.99 depending on the promotion and house wiring.
Hope that helps the OP.

| All very helpful. I have DirecTV for my television and will be keeping it because I have a weekend getaway with a satellite dish - I just carry my receiver from one house to the other. So I'll be keeping my DirecTV which uses my existing in-home cabling.
I'm just going to run a single RG6 cable directly from the outside of my house where Comcast will terminate over to the location inside the house where the cable modem will be. Won't be a big deal - I'm pretty good at cabling and I don't have to worry about anyone falling through my attic other than myself. |
