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.

I ran Cat5e and then pulled fiber as it became cheap. The only coax is the one that I ran to come to the modem.

Definitely the best option. If I was building new, I'd run fiber throughout. But I admit it's probably overkill unless you're running servers or something.

It won't be. 10Gbit will come to residential soon.

Haha, don't you need at least Cat7 wire to even handle anything above 1 GBps? Even a router that can handle that much is going to be expensive.

Most households don't need more than 50 Mbps (maybe 100 if they have multiple UHD streams), everything above that isn't needed or is lost anyhow from network inefficiencies. And most people are limited by their wifi speeds anyways.

Good for u?

Yes it is. So much data can flow over those lit lines. My god, it's beautiful.
