Abstract
A high-speed data transmission network system () is provided. The system () includes a plurality of subscriber premises () that transmit a first upstream signal () on a first frequency band to a central office or a remote terminal (), which is in communication with the plurality of subscriber premises (). The central office or the remote terminal () broadcasts a downstream signal () to each of the plurality of subscriber premises () on a second frequency band, which is higher in frequency than said first frequency band. The downstream signal () contains one or more subscriber group signals and a plurality of subscriber specific signals. A controller () provides each of the subscriber premises () access to one or more of the one or more subscriber group signals and to a corresponding subscriber specific signal of the plurality of subscriber specific signals. A method of performing the same is also provided. A method of adjusting performance of transmitted signals between a central office () and a subscriber premise () within the high-speed data communication network system () is additionally provided.
