You're going to need to use RG11 cable for that distance. It's thicker, stiffer, tougher to work with, and more expensive. You may even need to use an amplifier. YMMV.

Tac1Gaming Hi there! Thanks for taking the time to reach out to us. Our technicians do not perform in wall wiring orinstallationn of outlets. You would need to hire a 3rd party contractor to get that done for you. Once it has been completed, we would have to have a tech out to activate the outlet and there is a $100.00 truck roll fee to do so. 
 
We hope this helps. Please let us know if you have additional questions. We are here to help!

Perhaps. For a $100.00 fee for the labor alone. YMMV.

Another option is pull ethernet cable (or fiber if you're really hardcore).  Depending on the design of your house that could be harder or easier than moving where the cable comes in.  Likely harder, but could be really easy if you live in an old balloon frame house with an unfinished basement.  At any rate, just something to think about/look into.
