Abstract
A method and system for distributing broadband digital and telephone signals arriving at a subscriber's home simultaneously over existing in-house four wire quad cable. The combined telephone and broadband signals entering the house are split upon entering the house and the broadband signals are converted to a locally generated broadband digital signal whose power spectral density is not distorted by recovery of the telephone signal, such as a 10Base-T signal. The locally generated combined broadband digital signals and telephone signals are distributed to broadband transceivers where the telephone signals and broadband digital signals are applied to telephones and broadband service termination devices, respectively.
