We run fiber inside. Wall mount the CPE, bend insensitive tight buffer cable with field installed connection, stapled to wall so it can't get snagged. Educate customer it is not user serviceable and provide costs for a service call to re-terminate or splice fiber. No problems yet. Some resistance to having a router mounted to their wall but we explain it's safest and they are usually OK.
