HD and Lowes will sell Cat-6 wiring. So DIY is possible, but it is annoying.

The wires will need to be fished inside upper floor walls and down to basement, and then one puts a RJ-45 outlet in the upper floor wall. Within the open basement, its easier to pull the cables but still put an RJ-45 outlet in the drywall when the basement is closed up. Other end of each wire goes to the same spot in the basement near the Verizon fiber drop.

We hired ABEnetworks.com, which is a local company, and we were happy with the results.

They also will run coaxial cable (RG-6) for Over-the-air TV or Cable/Satellite TV if you want.

I would add lots of electrical outlets.
And I don't know if the wiring is different for ceiling fans with lights vs. just overhead lights, but if so, I would upgrade to have that option available.
