Of course they can, while actually they can't but the Time divisions, hence A-TDMA(advanced time division muliple access technology), allows several modems to communicate simultaneoulsy on the same wire and the same RF channel...or so it seems.

The only differene between the coax cable in your house and the distribution cable is size, that's it. As to the original question, the only thing you have to be concerned about is the amount of signal available at that one particular outlet. Remember when you split it your essentially cutting the signal by 3.5 db and you generally don't want much less than 0db hitting a modem or you could start running into issues.
