Planning to replace the old TV coax cable with Ethernet cable so everybody in the house gets their own low-latency connection for gaming. The problem is that TV cable is installed in a daisy chain while Ethernet has a star topology, and there's only room for one cable from the basement to upstairs. So at the moment I'm pondering whether to keep the daisy chain and place a switch in every room, use some sort of MoCA (Ethernet over coax) adapter or go all the way and install fiber.
Also, we should really replace the carpet in the master bedroom with hardwood soon.
(Edit: spelling)
I'll go ahead and say that I'm using a MoCA connection to my main PC, and have no complaints about it at all. It's the 2.5Gbps by ScreenBeam.
Not sure how exactly that works with the daisy chain, but brief reading seems to indicate that it should be fine to add a MoCA endpoint in each room, unless you wanna just rewire the upstairs with a single switch and Ethernet cables to each room up there, assuming you have room to run all the cables in the upstairs only.
