As for coax, for sure. I wasn't even contemplating it or (even

CAT-{3,5} with an RJ plug. I'm certain I couldn't do that with
either coax or fiber.
Coax isn't that bad, but it does require mutiple cut lengths and
levels. (TV coax is not as difficult as network or RF coax.) Fiber,
well, that would be hard to do for the first time, even if you explain
it in person. A RJ45 crimp can be explained over a phone, but, of
course, it might not come out as pretty as it could. Phone lines are
the easiest if you're not concerned about polarity.
