Recently closed on new build. Internet cable was buried and fed through the house today. Is this acceptable? Looks somewhat sloppy imo (alien.top)

The Spectrum technician came by today to install the internet cable/wifi.

Initially, I requested the hole and coax to be ran closer to the electric box/meter. The tech understandably didn’t think that was a good idea. However, is this an acceptable job?

I feel like the cable length was further than it needed to be. He drilled from the inside out.

There also didn’t put any finishing on the hole the cable is wired though. I’m assuming this should have some sort of silicone or spray sealant to prevent water intrusion and bugs? I’ve even seen those cable bushings which would have cleaned it up and prevent water intrusion. I asked but he said it was good to go as is.

Or am I just overreacting about all of this?

This is where you have to slip them a Ulysses S. Grant bill. Just how i did the ATT fiber guy when he came to replace the fiber after I stupidly yanked it from the wall. He labeled it as a bad install and didnt charge me. Slipped him $50. Would of cost me $250 lol.
