It's coax for cable TV. If you have Cable Internet available in your area, it could be used to connect to the Internet using a DOCSIS modem, but your cable company can advise you. If you have multiple jacks in your home, you can also use MoCA adapters to run Ethernet across your home without having to tear down the walls to install wiring.
