>If you have a cable modem fed by the same RG6 plant, you CANNOT use the RG6 plant for in-house MOCA you can. they use different frequencies. only docsis4 may start overlap with moca. i had docsis 3.1 modem and moca 2.5 on same wiring without any problem

Okay, it MAY be possible for them to coexist, but speeds will be degraded.

  i had 1.2gb down from xfinity and 1gb via moca. if something were degraded - i didn't find it

    Can you get full bandwidth to/from the Internet while also getting full bandwidth between your MOCA adapters?

      not in any particular order - i have better things to do with my life than doing those tests - i have now fiber and proper ethernet wiring, so i can't test even if i want - moca and docsis usually operate at different frequencies. if it's not bottom shelf equipment - why should be there any interaction ? it's same like saying that because you have cable internet your tv will have problems with tv programming - most of docsis modems top out at 1002mhz iirc. moca starts at 12xx - moca doesn't just starts running. in the beginning iirc it figures out what frequency range is usable. you can also lock it to specific range i think - i never saw xfinity provisioning channels even close to 1000mhz range

There is a weird setup that can happen as well -- MoCA overlaps with DirecTV. DirecTV gets around this by using their own frequency variant of MoCA for their set top boxes and the like (called DECA), which overlaps with standard cable frequencies. So yes, you can't use RG6 plant for in-house DECA, but you can use standard MoCA. Just make sure there's a MoCA filter at your cable entrance.

  the only interaction that i had with directv in my life, it's when i took down directv dish in order to put starlink on it. about moca filter, strictly speaking - it's not required. but if one doesn't have it, he could have common network with neighbors or have filter slapped by telco on tap in case "noise" create problems
