Network wiring using coax cables

I'm planning to have only one ISP connection on my building and share it between the 6 apartments. This means needing to run Ethernet cables to all of them, creating some complications. My question: Is it possible to use the coax cables already present in order to simplify the job?

Yes... theoretically. There are devices for it. But a quick Google suggest it would be expensive (£/$100/50 a connection).

 

It should not take too much time or cost to do cat5/similar cable.

Moca adapters are expensive. They max out at 400- 800 Mbps depending on what adapters you get. But yeah it can be done. 

I just want to sit back and watch the world burn.
