  No it isn't.  Do you really think it's possible to broadcast two hundred
channels of video plus supply broadband IP access to a couple of hundred
people over a single 10Mb/s 10-BASE-T ethernet line of the kind that has
been obsolete for the best part of a decade?

  That's not an ethernet on that wire.
