Abstract
The invention provides for a system, method, and device for using the existing copper loop plant of twisted pair wiring for data communication by using a plurality of pairs in a cable bundle of twisted pair for the downstream data direction simultaneously, as if the plurality of twisted pair in the cable bundle were a broadcast medium. Between an individual subscriber's access pair and the cable bundle, an aggregation device is used to combine all received signals from the plurality of twisted pairs in the cable bundle and to make the entire downstream bandwidth of the plurality of pairs available to the subscriber.
