I'm in the process of cleaning up the wiring in my basement to prepare for finishing it. I'm unsure if I should keep the coaxial cables since I've heard that being 'cable ready' is a selling point for homes. Does anyone think this is still a factor in 2025, or can I safely remove all the coax wires and declutter my space?

Using coax to run Ethernet to different rooms has been a game changer for me! If you have the option, I definitely recommend keeping at least some of it. It could serve multiple purposes, especially if you ever want to repurpose it for internet or TV signals. Plus, you can use something like MoCA to create a network drop even if the cable is stapled down.
Exactly! If you ever decide to use an OTA antenna, having coax can really help distribute the signal to multiple rooms without hassle.
