Directv for cable, Cox Internet... One cable jack.

We made a few changes to the layout of the house after the flood, and it's about time for me to call Directv and Cox to come out and hook us up. I noticed yesterday that the only cable jack I have now is above the mantle where we plan to hang the TV. Obviously Directv will use this and it will be fine. But will Cox also have to use this same jack with a splitter to hook up the internet? Or do they have to put in a separate cable jack somewhere else?
We were aiming for the wireless look with the TV, but if the cable modem will have to connect back there also, I'm not sure if we can achieve it.
TIA

There is no way to split the cable line running into that jack because they are two completely different services. Cox will have to run another line and install another jack somewhere, choose a central location of the house.

I had this exact issue and decided that instead of running a separate line, putting the Cox on one outlet, DiretTV on another out, and going wireless boxes for DirecTV
