How long before the up to 5Mbps translates into something much lower.  |

Re: 5 mbps SYMMETRICAL??
not entirely sure....all that I know is, is that I have spoken with a guy in Cincinnati about his PBL, and he liked the speeds he was getting.
Anyway, once again, the technology which should ultimately be for the ruralites gets deployed in an area where there is an overabundance of urbanites...*sigh*.
just our luck, we'll probably never see this either. |

As long as he is NOT broadcasting junk, but trying to contact someone where 1 KW could be justified, then it is not intentional, even if he is doing it to mess up BPL. Remember, BPL is still part 15 and has to accept interference even if the FCC rewrote regulations to allow BPL to pollute the airwaves if they make an 'attempt' to notch the interference.

Most BPL technologies these days use adaptive multicarrier modulation, and will just ignore the frequencies you're transmitting on. According the the ARRL, Homeplug-based BPL (like Cinncinati's) don't even use the HAM bands. |

Only technically clueless people (e.g., FCC Commissioners) argue that BPL is applicable to rural environments. It has the same feasility issues in low-density areas as any other broadband technology, if not more so. |

I am going to assume you have never been to the Syracuse area based on those comments. Just to clarify, even Syracuse city proper is more of a suburban area than a "real" city. The downtown area doesnt really have any residential areas, and most people live in houses as opposed to buildings. While Syracuse is certainly not rural, the people living in the suburbs of this "suburb city" for the most part have land and room to spare.

BPL could be North American wide, offer 100/100 lines for good prices and people will still bitch about this tech.

Re: 5 mbps SYMMETRICAL??
With National Grid ? I doubt you will see a slow down. They have Carrier class fiber every where. I have worked for them and let me tell you their fiber is definitely top notch, they have a very competent network designer that I have worked closely with.
And It's not even mapped since it's their private fiber, they lease to verizon tmobile and cingular just to name a few, as well as other carriers and Isps.
