I'm a network security guy; it's the ethernet cables outside the house
that would bother me. But like I said, that just creates a mental block
about running cables outside.

I also live in Toronto; external cables tend to break in the winter (my
TV cable needs to be replaced roughly once per decade, even though they
use stuff designed to be frozen).

Of course, in my new house, the only 'riser' that goes all the way up to
the top is the plumbing stack for the upstairs bathroom; not the easiest
to work around, so I'll have to rethink my aversion to external cabling.
