I was aware of the attraction "green" insulation has. Mice have caused some problems to the electrical on my 2007 truck, which I don't drive much.
We went ahead with the standard installation. I talked the installer into letting me put a hole in the back of the box. Now, the RG6 has a small loop out of the box, re-enters the box and goes into the house. He had to follow company protocol and not use a right angle connector to the RF converter to stay wholly inside the box. He also grew up around here and knew how bad ground hogs can be, so if there is a problem, we planned ahead and can easily fix it. The fiber optic cable itself is inside a 3/4" flexible electrical conduit. It is pretty thick walled.
Ironically, there was a ground hog waiting under his truck when he went to leave.
As for the service, I love the FOIS. I am getting 7.5 Mbps down and 3.5 up. My Cleveland cable gives 1.7 Mbps down and about half that up.
