Default Really "need to" replace older CATV cables? Would my cableprovider really filter my line against my will?

Even in a fiber-optic system, at some point the signal has to be converted
to RF for your TV or set-top box.

I don't know if there are systems that remain optical all the way up to the
set-top box.
