Cable between pedestal and my own modem

What type of cable (coaxial? Cat ?) xfinity run between pedestal and my own modem inside my house?

Buffalo Grove, IL

This is new construction, pedestal is already build in next to my basement, on the lawn.

If Cat cable is an option as of September 2023, do you have a modem with Ethernet plug build into a modem?

@user_8f698b The cable used from the pedestal to the modem is Coaxial. The connection from the wall to the modem is also Coaxial.

You still need a coax cable installed to go from the outside pedestal / tap to the inside of your building / unit where your modem would be located.

Thank You.. it is such answer I was looking for... BTW.. few months from now my electrician will be ripping/cutting/mudding many many walls in our townhouse.. I told him about coax, but he ignored me, .. I have never ever heard about Cat5 or 6 being used outside my own network, I do mean , from pedestal trough the walls, and modem. .I do have an internet ,, cable internet from 1997.
