That is a rare old beast these days with the push to digital multichannel HD broadcast and is being switched off in many areas to give more bandwidth to the digital cable channels.
Akin to the Analog Cable on VM really.

Yeah I'm referring to it being a relic of the MATV days. I know they are in the process of phasing them out, to the annoyance of people who have 6 TVs and a coax mess through their homes.
That's what I meant, the whole demarcation from the cable company is a bit of a relic from that, and I'm aware that companies increasingly have enforced their own modems on customers for logistics reasons. Still a number of customers that are using their own modems, and complaining that they are being charged a modem rental fee
You're in a good place for cable, Cablevision have recently done a big node splitting programme to get all their nodes down to approximately 250 homes passed. The joys of having to compete with FiOS
