what noone has mentioned I always put a drip loop in the cable on the outside so that water runs down the cable and drips off before it gets to the hole

ermmm.........

loop the cable below the hole before it enters the house, again so that water drips off it.

If the cable comes from above, route it below, then turn it up and into the hole, like a "J" shape, so that any water running down outside of the cable doesn't flow straight into the hole.

(ensure you mount it the correct way up with the cable entry point at the bottom)

Drill a hole from the inside at a slightly downward angle, making sure that there is no obstruction outside or pipes or electric in the wall.

A 10mm bit (but I use a 15mm) at 450mm long should do it.

Glue on a cable cover on the outside &/or clip the cable from under the hole from the outside going in.

use an SDS drill with a 9mm bit feed it through and seal with white silicon, jobs a gooden, good luck

Find the original hole that the cable came through...

push a wire coathanger thru, tape the cable to it and pull back into the room.
