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.

Na, it's cool that they invest to bringing fiber to homes, but the speed thing is badically a sales gimmic. For one, their network can't actually support everyone using even a fraction of that bandwidth at the same time. And two, almost everyone's home setup limits severely limits the amount of bandwidth they can ever use, so it doesn't matter if there is 100 Mbps or 100Gbps coming into their house.

"...almost everyone's home setup limits severely the amount of bandwidth they can ever use..."

Says the guy who thinks you need Cat 7 cables (which use proprietary connectors) to go over 1gbit. My connection is billed at 200mbps, and most of the time will hit nearly 240.

"...everything above 100mbps isn't needed or is lost anyhow from network inefficiencies..."

You are abjectly retarded, or you've been under a rock for 20+ years.

"And most people are limited by their wifi speeds anyways."

802.11ac has been around since 2013. Single-stream link speed on that is 433mbps (i.e. a device with a single antenna such as a mobile phone). Multi-stream devices can hit in the 1300mbps range. Anything even REMOTELY recent will not have wifi as the limiting factor.

At 300mbps, MoCA is fine for ease of use. But if you have a connection to your ISP that's faster than that, you're limiting yourself and spending more than you need for adapters. Hell, there are powerline adapters (plug them into the wall and they piggyback a carrier signal on the electrical wiring) that can hit gigabit these days.
