The other thing to make them do is run RG6 cable instead of RG59. Have them run that along with 2 runs of Cat6 cable to every room; possibly 2 sets of runs to larger rooms.
It's something that is a PITA to do in a house later, and next to impossible later in a condo. You can always buy new appliances, install new flooring, etc later on. But opening up the walls later on is next to impossible.
And I say RG6 and Cat6 instead of RG59 and Cat5 or Cat5e to future proof yourself. You might be able to get away with going to Cat5e; which is what I did 2 years ago. But Cat6 will be able to carry more data- and that little extra may be needed 10 or 15 years from now when we are all watching super HDTV through an IP based connection.
