I imagine they hired the cheapest contractor they had and couldn’t give 2 shits about stuff like that. Shame on me for not catching on that. Interestingly the inspector didn’t notice that either

The inspector doesn’t know what kind of service you’ll go with. Cable vs fiber vs satellite. The inspector is there to check for issues that could be dangerous, deadly, or expensive.

You should also be there with the inspector to question anything you’re concerned about.

The inspector is looking for defects, not the absence of features you might like.

Inspector won’t care they’ll just tell you to use WiFi

I’m really confused by the downvotes. I’ve bought 3 houses and not one inspector looked at home wiring. I looked it over because I know what to look for, but they’re looking at expensive shit like HVAC, foundation, and roof. Home networking is so personal they’re never going to say “this house lacks Cat6 in every room”. Most people couldn’t care less.

Yeah it sucks. As often as I see it I would be willing to guess its not something that inspections for.
