The first thing to do is to find out what condition the outside coax plant is. Once you know that you can start finding out what upgrades/changes/replacements you need to do to convert it to a DOCSIS system.
If it's in bad shape, consider replacing the coax with fiber in situ: https://deepfibersolutions.com Not affiliated, haven't used their service, there are other companies doing the same.

We plan to just inject internet (no TV). There will be no head end equipment provided to us (currently off site at the cable companies office), therefore just the cable in the ground and the amplifiers. I know nothing about cable and want to know if it would be a good idea to take this on. I.e. what we would need to buy, head end stuff, boxes in the homes etc. Our plan would be to add a cabinet next to the cable head end and bring bandwidth to the site via a backhaul link. Thoughts ideas? Anyone out there with cable experience willing to take a call to discuss this?
