If the cable coming through the wall is coaxial like the pictire OP posted, that's exactly what's happening. New installs will be FTTP and a lot of networks have been upgraded, but there's still plenty of areas using DOCSIS over coax.

UK here. It's just not a thing any more. I regularly drive - or am a passenger - on a ~200 mile round trip and insect strikes just don't happen.

That said, I recently drove from the North of England to the South of France. Almost as soon as we crossed the Channel we were instantly getting insects splattered on the windscreen to the point we had to refill buy some bright pink no-nonsense washer fluid at the next services. So I assume some counties are more responsible than others with their use of pesticides.

They'd get bored after a time and Charles Foster Offdensen would have to step in.

Yeah, but how were they to know the central reservation on the autobahns would need a barrier as well as earthworks?

Not that I've seen and I'd take what Purism say with a grain of salt: they've acted like pretty shitty gatekeepers themselves. Nothing they mentioned in the article seems too egregious in truth and they're exaggerating the scale of it: Play Store app DRM exists already, and the restrictions on browser-downloaded apps they mention can be bypassed (albeit by having to go into settings) and don't apply to apps installed through other apps stores (F-Droid, etc).
