[SML] OT: networking through 20 conductor wire from '70s?

Hello All,
I'm working on adding network points in my house. The house was re-wired
for phones sometime past, perhaps 70's, with a thick 20 conductor cable.
Likely for mutiple phone lines. The 20 wires are color coded in pairs, etc.
but don't appear to be twisted pairs. Any idea if this will work for whole
house networking for computers?
I'm also thinking about using a couple of pairs for HDMI over Network to
get a TV signal from the living room upstairs to a bedroom.

Thoughts?
I'd prefer to avoid fishing new wire everywhere. Yes, I could go wireless,
but wire is so much faster as I have thick stone walls here and there.

Second option is to explore Networking over Cable as the place is
completely wired for cable.

THanks, Scott
