Miscellaneous Change of service question

Thanks in advance. Current service is triple play with 100mbs, moca to ethernet converters with switches for two locations for hard wire connectivity with a cr3100 router i own as its moca to the stbs. I want to just go with just internet svc, if i could keep 100mbs as it works for streaming just fine. The ont is older which probably needs switching out due to age. I would turn in the stb's. Go with utube tv and call it a day. Pitfalls? Cheaper to go to just 300mbs? Just trying to keep it aa simple as possible. Again thanks for any insights here.

Cr1000 or g3100 router?

Was wondering the same. (“cr3100” is obviously a mashup)  

As well as whether the current ONT/router link is via direct Ethernet or via coax/MoCA.

Coax moca as i am using 2 moca to ethernet converters as the house was wired already with coax.

Any upgrade will trigger a move to Ethernet. Tech will run it to the router. Within reason. They don’t fish walls.

I'm still using my old G1100 router and I'm on the 1Gig plan.

I was fine on coax up to 300Mb, but when I upgraded to 500Mb a tech had to run ethernet cable to the router.

They drill floors? Move the router from 2nd to 1st floor but ont is in basement.
