Ethernet over Coax

I've been doing a bit of research into Ethernet over Coax. There seems to be so many different options, but not much sold in the UK. For example, I can only find these two products on Amazon:

Siemens HPN-3301 - Bridge - HomePNA 3.0 - desktop: Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories
StarTech.com 10/100 Mbps Ethernet Over Coaxial LAN Extender Kit 2.4km - Short-haul modem - 10Base-T, 100Base-TX - RJ-45 / F connector - external - up to 2.4 km: Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories

These are both HomePNA 3.0 adaptors. There is a 3.1 standard, but I can't find any for sale in the UK.

There are also MOCA 1.1 and 2.0 standards - but again, can't find anything for sale in the UK. MOCA 2.0 is very promising, talking about a comfortable 800mbit throughput, but no devices are being sold for it yet.

Final option is Ethernet to VDSL2 conversion, e.g. this product:
Levelone Ethernet Over Vdsl2 Converter Vds-0202 (Bnc): Amazon.co.uk: Clothing
However, this seems to be the chosen course of action for longer distances at lower throughputs.

Anyone got anything else they know about for sale in the UK?

Ah, good point. :) I'm trying to see if I can do more than 100meg over coax, e.g. 500+. The coax is "dedicated", so doesn't carry any other TV/satellite signals and is point to point, short run within the house.
