The cable network is hybrid fiber and coax (HFC.) It's fiber from the head end to the "neighborhood" node, then coax to the home. You may be out of range from an existing node, so they'd have to run fiber, install a new node, run power for it, then obviously run coax to connect you to the node. That's a lot of equipment and labor for one home.

- icedchai 5y agoGood luck! In my experience getting any real technical details out of the cable company is almost impossible, unless you have an inside connection, like a friend who works there. The "house" techs don't deal with the cable plant / stuff on the poles: they handle from the "drop" on down. The "plant" techs don't seem to talk directly to customers: that's not their job (at least not around here.)
