Additional comments noted. I'll leave the fittings in place- they can
cut them off and redo them if they want to.
I really don't think I would get this location done for free
*unless* neatness is not an issue. The modem needs to be placed near
the inner wall of a room. I know what the snaking would involve and I
can't imagine there wouldn't be an extra charge.

The installer can't install the cable in the "odd location"?

Those guys do it every day and most of them are very good at what they
do. I had a cable run for my internet connection through a part of my
attic where I didn't even think it was possible because the area is so
tight.
