If not, what are you waiting for? Don't let that coax jack sit unused while your TV/streaming thing competes with a dozen other devices for bandwidth!

Convert the entire network with a MoCA adapter before the coax splitter, taking the input ethernet and converting it to coax. (Some internet companies already do this.) Then you'll have 300+ Mbps uninterrupted speeds coming out of every coax port. All you need is a coax to convert it back to ethernet/Cate. And now that useless coax network is good for something again.

Cat 6 will work just fine. It's rated for up to 180 feet (plenty for most residential runs) at 10G, and you can get a 1,000' spool of shielded plenum cabling for $400. If you do need more reach than that, 6A will run about $500 and can span the full 330' of the ethernet spec.

Installed properly, you have everything you need for your current network, and when 10G gear comes down in price, you can simply swap it out and not have to run new cable.
