Why does coax cable come into my house instead of Ethernet?

[Rektagon]

So today I was researching premade PFSence routers and I relized that a coaxle cable come into my house from my ISP. I also researched coax to Ethernet adapters and there are none of a kind. So I kinda NEED help.

The coax carries the signal from the ISP

you use the modem to get ethernet which you then connect to the router

O ya. Right now I have an all in one router from my ISP. Totally forgot. Thank you very much!

Coax's has the ability to go very long distances with ease of repeating signals and huge bandwidth capability for television, home phone and internet at the same time make it very versatile.

It's better this way, it means all the hardware (modem and router) is in your house at your reach, to reconfigure/replace; the ISP is not gonna like, but screw them.
