Reply to New homeowner internet struggles by KCDPT
When I moved 2 years ago, I was bummed that one of the rooms was missing a cable outlet.
Now I'm using only a single outlet for the modem in my office. A mesh wifi system (eero) gives me great wifi throughout the house, and each TV has a Roku with the xfinity (or, in your case, spectrum) app. The experience with Roku or Apple TV is way better than cable boxes.
So these days, you probably really only need one cable outlet run to wherever you'd like to have your cable modem and wifi hub, and the rest can be wireless. No need to have some silly cable installer stringing cables all over the outside of your house to get a connection to each room.

Reply to LPT: If you are hurting this year for money and you don't have a lot for your kids for Christmas/holidays, hide what the gifts you have, make a treasure hunt with clues and riddles, and stretch it out to give them a great experience. by pinheadbrigade
If you make it so hard that they can't find the gifts, you can return them for $$$.
