I recommend just running conduit to everything during your next renovation, that way you could easily upgrade down the road. I wish conduit was used for all of these coax lines in my house.

20 years ago, I heard people online saying they were running their cat5e cable in conduits for ease of upgrading. Reasonable enough, after the 10-megabit to 100-megabit to 1-gigabit upgrades of the preceding decade.
Not once, since then, have I heard of any of them pulling new cables.
I still want a mainframe in my basement and HDMI ports in my walls for thin-client laptops...
there is a pretty good chance that 20-30 meters of cat5e utp in a house will test successfully for 2.5GBaseT today, not that even one percent of consumers will have such a switch.
Officially 2.5G can run up to 100m on Cate 5e:

So I wouldn't be surprised if 5GigE, and maybe even 10, could be done on shorter runs.
