Is this true? If so, why would that be the case?

I assume the inside wiring would work with any of the 3 cable companies, or with a satellite system.
Have Brighthouse and yes, they do run a connection.....they slit the sod, don't trench it, then fold it back....less than 10 minutes to do that. No biggie. Installation was great and so far, so is the service. Nice to have choices, for us two choices as COMCAST would never be on my list......especially since the CEO made the statement that it would take years for them to correct the customer service issues.
