None of the installs around here have used RG6, and I've seen about 20, that includes five that were done last year, so I dunno how long ago you refer to as "used to" but they were still using it in November. In any case, the connectors don't even connect anything at all, they just bare the cable core and that directly contacts the socket. Nothing special there, the only thing the connector does is hold the cable in place.
