Could the guys installing, not just plug the cable through the nearest front wall to the street access, then tack cabling along the bottom of the walls, to the room you desire?

Just wonder as they done this on my very first Cable install, from front of house, up the stairs to the back bedroom. Mind you this was Telewest many years ago.

In my second home, the VM guy installed the cabling through from back of house to front, and i couldn't even see the cable, it was such a good install.

Any other homes in your street with cable? ask to see how theirs are set up.

I have to add that I can well understand H&S wise why the guys don't want to go up onto the roof. But not knowing the first hand, was surprised they didn't offer another alternative.

Oh I so wish for my cable days again.
