Why did the technician tack the coaxial cord on the exterior of my brand new construction home instead of running it through the house or burying the cord?
The technician put a box at the exterior of my home and then ran the coaxial cord down the side of my house. He tacked the cord to the brick. Nobody else in my neighborhood has this and my home is the newest in the neighborhood. Why does cox not try to conceal the cord?

Cables should be tacked (secured) to eliminate any slack. "Loose" cables are vulnerable to weed wackers, animals, kids...anything capable of catching, cutting or pulling it.
As you know, there has to be a hole in your house for the cable to pass through from the exterior NIU to your interior wall plate. How far is this hole from the NIU?

It may be an issue with grounding. It's position now may be close to a ground on the telco side or if it's close to your power meter, it may be grounded there. Cable installers do have electrical certifications.
