Yup.
Even new builds like our house is coax to modem.
Still they seem to be able to deliver a consistent 500Mb to some homes with it so it can't be all that bad.
My Xbox spiked at 750Mb down for about 15 seconds the other day before shaping kicked in and downgraded it to 300Mb.

Yup, and people like Hyperoptic are offering an infrastructure that allows them to offer a virtually uncontended product in a manner which means that they will be able to maintain the low contention ratios even if they grow rapidly.
Its the main reason why we decided to pay (50% of costs) for Hyperoptic to install in our block of 70 flats rather than let Virgin do it for free.

I mean, isnt the whole rg6 coax cable thing just a legacy arrangement from when Virgin bought NTL Telewest in 2006?
