That was sort of my point.
A hell of a lot of places it's a) No broadband at all or b)1 supplier who's the successor business to the company that installed the line decades ago and hasn't had to spend a dime on the line since.
Depending on the box they may not have even bothered to send out an installer, just a parcel with "This is your new STB. Replace your old cable box with this and switch it on, otherwise your TV and internet is f**ked."
