    I'm currently with smart and am thinking about moving to UPC. Thing is I have my house wired with CAT 5 which works fine with Smart cause the central 'hub' room is the study which is where I have a phone line.

    So from that room I have a router that spreads the signal to all other rooms in the house (multiple CAT 5 cables).

    My UPC access point is downstairs behind the TV, which also happens to be one of the access points of my household CAT 5 network.

    If I change to UPC and the network point behind my TV becomes the new 'hub' can I still spread the connection to all other points in the house? By this I mean if I leave the router in the study can I just take the signal from behind the TV, up to the study, into the router there and back out into all points?

    Sorry if unclear, hard to describe.
