Housing developers are really bad at doing large scale low-voltage work.
I used to work for an ISP here in the southeastern US and there were entire neighborhoods that had permanently shitty service because the housing developer decided to do the wiring on their own for the extra profits and did a terrible job of it.
Then the individual communities never want to pay to have the work redone properly -- they think the ISP should eat the bill, even though we gave the developers the opportunity to do it right the first time. Doing hundreds of reworks of the last mile of service at once is expensive.
Often we would come to some arrangement and heavily discount the wiring work down to like $30k from the community in exchange for exclusive contracts. The communities that wouldn't spend a dime were just permanently SOL.
