UPC Cable - What kind?

[boots]

There is no UPC service in my area at present so I am going with Eircom for now.
I was advised by my electrician that I should get the UPC cable into my house anyway as the service opes needed to be sealed etc ( split level house with waterproof tanking where opes are etc).
My problem is that UPC won't supply me with the cable as I don't have an account with them, neither would they tell me what kind of cable it is , other than saying that the local office would be in touch.
Can anyone tell me what kind of cable this is, so I can go off and buy some?
Thanks

WF100 should certainly be up to the job.

If your tight on money you might get away with RG6 if all the run is indoors.

why not just run a sealed 1"- 2" duct and leave something in it to pull cable through later
