Also, a question for anyone in Marsh Bend area - who takes care of putting connectors on the coax and Cat-5 cables in the low-voltage box in the garage? Are the jacks in some of the rooms for telephone or Ethernet?

Thanks.

My experience in a brand new home in Monarch Grove:

Internet or cable provider will put connectors on the coax cables.

Cat5 cables are set up for phones and connected to a block in the low voltage panel.

You could use the Cat5 for Ethernet by putting a switch in the low voltage cabinet and connecting the the other end of one cable to your router.

I used one coax to connect to xFinity modem/router in the main room and use Wi-Fi for just about everything. I did connect my Smart TV via Cat5 to the router.
