There is a caveat to this. In-house coaxial cable needs to be of good (manufactured) quality and in good condition. Pumping a 2 Gb signal into coaxial cable in bad shape can yield substandard (less than 2 Gb) performance. It might be a single segment or multiple segments that needs to be fixed/replaced. You might not even notice a problem with a 100 MB source but find one at 10 to 20 times that speed. I assume it's possible to test your in-house wiring but doubt they will unless requested to do so ($$) or problems arise.
If the coaxial cable is in good shape it will support Gb speeds. When we go to 10 Gb speeds?
