Method and apparatus for high speed data services

A system to transmit and receive interactive television services using a minimally twisted pair cables, comprising:

• a processing system including a processor;
• and
• a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
• receiving a signal;
• and
• modifying the signal for transmission over the minimally twisted pair cable to a line card as a modified signal, wherein the line card converts the modified signal to a converted signal enabling customer premise equipment associated with the line card to present the interactive television services,
• wherein the signal comprises a very high digital subscriber line signal, and
• wherein the modified signal comprises a very high digital subscriber line signal, and
• wherein the converted signal comprises a very high digital subscriber line signal.

A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processing system including a processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:

• receiving a signal via minimally twisted pair cables, wherein the signal comprises a very high digital subscriber line signal;
• applying a noise canceling filter to modify the signal, for transmission over the minimally twisted pair cables, to generate an updated signal, wherein the updated signal comprises a very high digital subscriber line signal;
• and
• transmitting the updated signal to a line card to enable the line card to receive the updated signal and to convert the updated signal to a converted signal for presentation of interactive television services at customer premise equipment, wherein the converted signal comprises a very high digital subscriber line signal.
