MATV services (which is what you have by doing that) are no longer supported so it may do you for a while but if anything goes wrong you'll be scuppered. Also a direct connection from the TV to the cable outlet introduces noise on the network which slows down broadband so you may find that if it's detected, the cable between your house and the cabinet may be cut leaving you with no service at all (they may be nice and put a filter on instead but I doubt it!).
