Just another point of view- although the bidirectional thing could be
rubbish (it probably is, but it is possible that the uplink is
marginal in some spec of the cable which one co-ax might meet and
another fail on**), do they have to fit connectors to it?  Co-ax
connectors are specific to cable size, so if they carry crimps for
RG6 they could well not work reliably on CT100.

I don't know the spec of either cable well, so it's possible that
neither of these are the reason, but don't dismiss it entirely yet!

** While _wire_ is bidirectional, the line drivers in the box in
your
house are probably designed for low price, not specifically for their
ability to drive a range of different cables...
