Galaxy wired my house built in 2014. I would give them a B- grade. They did provide coax home runs from the low-voltage panel to each bedroom (actually to 2 locations in one of the bedrooms), the kitchen, and the great room (2 locations). They also provided cat5e home runs from the low-voltage panel to each bedroom (actually to 2 locations in one of the bedrooms), the kitchen but not the great room. They did not provide a cat5e home run to every location where they ran coax. Some of the cat5e runs in the bedrooms are to traditional spots you might put a phone - I think that is outdated thinking. Wi-Fi notwithstanding, it would have made more sense, IMO, to provide 2 cat5e home runs to each location where they had a coax home run. This provides complete flexibility for anyone wanting to use ethernet connections to TVs instead of Wi-Fi. The cable is cheap.
