My bet is that they don't go through attics either.
Why? My guess is time and cost. Stringing line in a basement and going up through the floor is quick and easy.

I had arranged an install time for Fidium, and when I came home they'd already run the wire from the street to their box they'd already mounted on my house...without confirming what the job would entail.
Their plan was to simply drill a hole through the side of my house into a finished basement wall and run an exposed wire to a nearby shelf where they'd place the router. If I wanted strong signal through the whole house, they would have had to run repeaters as they wouldn't fish the wire from the basement to the center of the room above where my main electronics center is.
Though I'd already had the chase prepared to get their wire from my attic straight down an already-opened wall cavity to the main electronics, they wouldn't have it.
I cancelled...and still have the Fidium box mounted to the side of my house. Awesome.
If looking into Fidium, I'd totally confirm what has to be done first.
