That's an unauthorized company procedure for any RF connection -- even for a 
set-top-box to television set connection.
At times, cable technical services are outsourced to a contractor who run 
out of material and make do with anything they can.  I have never seen a 
push-on connector used by CATV employee, nor contractor -- not to say it 
cannot happen, but if it does, report it to the cable company.
