I would think you would have an easier time using the coax than twisted pair. But yeah, DSLAM or DOCSIS CMTS would both work. CMTS should be cheap if you go with an older level of DOCSIS.
Here is one for $999.95 http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/261799840588?lpid=82&chn=ps From: Sam Lambie Sent: Tuesday, March 10, 2015 11:35 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Coax retransmit What about a DSLAM? Is there a common phone board somewhere in the building that you could tap into? 1 Antenna or hard line to a router and the DSLAM and voila! Totally controllable service per user. I do it all the time in apt buildings. On Mon, Mar 9, 2015 at 2:34 PM, Forrest Christian (List Account) <[email protected]> wrote: This is a bit different problem. I think the google search you are looking for is "MoCA". There are a lot of options for data over coax in a distribution environment. Also don't discount something like HomePNA which is a dsl-like technology you could tap onto a phone line post-demarc. -forrest On Mon, Mar 9, 2015 at 1:55 PM, Brett A Mansfield <[email protected]> wrote: It's a massive several hundred unit apartment complex. It's privately owned and they refuse to let anyone put any kind of radio or dish on their roof. It's three levels. If be able to get a signal to a few on the top level, but none on any other level. My hope is that if I can get a hardline to the building (which the city will allow me to do) then I can tie into the existing coax and distribute that way. The problem is that I have no idea how to do that. The building owner will not let anyone (not even Comcast or century link) run any new lines that are not already there.

In addition, antennas covered by the rule may be mounted on "masts" to reach the height needed to receive or transmit an acceptable quality signal (e.g. maintain line-of-sight contact with the transmitter or view the satellite). Masts higher than 12 feet above the roofline may be subject to local permitting requirements for safety purposes. Further, masts that extend beyond an exclusive use area may not be covered by this rule.

The next option is to put it on the balcony, but then I have no LOS. I thought put one radio in a hidden spot, but they won't let me run any cables to each apartment. However, they already have coax to each apartment. Anyone know what I could buy to get my ubiquiti radio signal covered to coax to bring them the Internet?
