Your living room doesn't have a coax connection, but you have an AT&T outlet. If broadband is internet, removing the face plate might allow you to switch to a coax or Ethernet cable. Just be careful and double-check what’s inside before making any changes.
Do you understand the path of that cable? It seems likely it goes to the ISP, which means it won't help you directly. A Wi-Fi connection might offer faster speeds, or you could lay a cable through the walls.
This situation is really frustrating. You can't just push wires through walls. With DSL, it usually took four technicians to get it done. AT&T seems determined to phase out DSL. In many places, the copper at the poles needs replacement soon. I also heard that some parts needed for DSL are hard to come by. Although AT&T is focused on VDSL now, their real goal appears to be fiber in certain areas and 5G elsewhere.
I seem to be using Xfinity Comcast internet. Probably the best choice is to connect via a long Ethernet cable from the upstairs bedroom to the living room.
You're facing some wiring issues too. It looks like the wiring for your aunts' two bedrooms was messy—two coax connections in one apartment, with the bedroom link going through the wall into the second bedroom via a closet. That's really confusing. I'd suggest running the Ethernet cable along the baseboards and using some 3M command strips to secure it to the walls.
