When my grandparents had it installed, they ran it up the drive, straight over the top of the house, then down the back wall and into the house there without an issue. Contrast this with when my parents had it installed (after my grandparents, so we assumed it would be fine) - we had about four weeks of back and forth saying "Hey, you've buried the cable on someone else's land and they're about to dig it up" (instead of following the edge of the property, they just cut diagonally across, and the neighbours had planning permission to build there). They eventually sorted it, but it must have taken a double digit number of calls and threats not to pay. IIRC, they were the only option for >38Mbps service, so we didn't have a great deal of choice.
