| It's not just the price of the coax...
Sometimes, just to go that extra block and service some users, boosters, extra fiber connectors, or even re-engineering part of the plant is necessary. That's why the companies choose to draw their boundaries at certain intersections or locations.
Remember, attenuation of coax, while not as bad as ethernet, or a single twisted pair, is still an issue for longer runs. If a customer wants cable, chances are they want internet, and possibly phone, so Comcast has to make sure they can build their plant to accomplish those at a rate the customer may want. |
