Maximum speeds on copper braid coax cable

I recently had a tech out for an install who said he couldn't install a modem because all our coax cable was quote "copper braided cable", and that it would cause too much interference. Is this correct, and if so, is there a solution? Slower speeds are acceptable if need be.

So speaking to Xfinity support, no one has been able to answer my relative simple question about whether cable variety is a valid reason to not connect service.

Hey, @chcpeter. Thanks for your comment. Our technician would be the one to determine this. If they said the type of connection you have can cause interference, that is most likely the case. But the new tech can double-check and answer any other questions for you. I see the visit was scheduled for today. How did it go?
