Josh you should have told them to make you a cable long enough to run into the room. Policy says THEY can't run it along the floor. They'll let YOU run it along the floor though. trust me been through that with TWC and Charter both made me super long cables. Most of the techs don't give a [censored] how much cable they use. I had them make me a buch for my basement so I could wire up my whole house for cable. You just have to play dumb or let them use your drills considering theres suck and they can't drill through bread
