What kind of "homerun to the exterior" is this? (Coax? ethernet?)
I would want the ISP device to be in this telecom location. Cable companies use Quad Shield Coax. Some ISP's install a conversion box on the wall outside and want ethernet to run inside the house. Some want to bring fiber into the house.
Advice: buy a gigabit switch with more ports than you think you need, especially more PoE ports.
They will run both coax and cat 6 to the exterior. Yes that is my goal to have the ISP modem in the telecom box. I want the ISP modem/router and switch in the telecom box and the orbi centrally located in the house.
