I also haven't dealt with cable companies since right before Katrina;
however - afaik - you just need to get in touch with their
construction division to see where your nearest tap is, and how many
ft of cable they are willing to run for whatever level of service
you're ordering. Then the rest of the bill is something for you to
take care of. At least that's how Adelphia, ComCast and Time-Warner
have done it in the past.

I would be curious to know if this is still the method, or is
Cox/Charter are different for some reason.
