I'm having internet & phone installed from the cable company. Does the
attached sketch look like a reasonable plan?


some points:
1) That's a barge board, not a fascia.

2) Inside probably only if it's easier than using their tacking
gun to run it on the outside, the installers are often paid a flat
rate so the cheapest satisfactory solution wins, but a small side
payment could sway things your way. beer may be a suitable currency.

If the barge flashing can easily be lifted and the cable placed
behind that may be a go, but probably your roof is some matierial
I have never seen used for roofs before.

If you can _safely_ install a pull cord that goes where you want
that would also sway things in favour of your plan, ideally
100 pound breaking strength.

3) increased catenary length may be an issue.

I'm trying to keep the =
cable as short as possible and to keep from running cable thru the =
attic.

they probably don't want to go into your attic. the only thing worse
than attics is crawling around under floors. (your crop is safe .-) )

1. The last TV cable (removed 20 years ago) had been connected at the
same place as the telephone cable which now run through a tree.

they _will_ want to avoid the tree.

2. I noticed that the neighbor's cable was run on the outside of the =
fascia board. It looks bad and is exposed to the weather. Is it =
reasonable to ask that it be installed on the inside of the fascia?

it depends what they have to do to put it there.
