Well its more of where he wants the superhub. If he does not mind it being downstairs then the above answer is a simple solution.

Regardless of where he wants it your looking at roughly a similar price for a coax option or an ethernet option. Both are relatively cheap and simple.

Agreed, but isn't it frowned upon for users to extend the coax side? I thought that could affect power levels and suchlike.

It can do and in Marginal signal situations can effect the service.. If for short distances (less than 10m) it's normally fine but the attenuation can be problematic on longer runs

I have a 3 story house , when I got cable installed (a few year ago ie. cabletel ) they ran cable into lounge for main box also up the building into top front bedroom then up the room wall into loft ,across loft and into top rear bedroom without any complaints. Perhaps this was when tradesmen took pride in their work not like today.
