Shimano 105 11 speed drivetrain.

Strava indicates that I have ~2900 miles on my Domane. Still shifts like the day I bought it. The girls bike is one year older and has more miles...also still shifts fine.

Not sure what bike you have, but your cable routing must have some really tight bends for it to be breaking twice a year on you.
