There are a long line of very nasty problems with this , that being one of many, its a bad idea plain and simple. Just think of all the do-it-yourslef Tim Taylor types that are gonna electicute themselves to death makin it go faster. Two thumbs down on BPL.

Its not quite clear... it will definitely be something like cable (where the bandwith is shared in your block). The highest I've seen is 54mbits from a press-release (»www.ebusinessforum.com/index.asp···ch_story) shared across all customers. So, calculate that as you will. The current one's are offering, 512kbits (symetrical?) service at the moment.

Not to mention, that there *are* distance limitations as well just like DSL, except they are even shorter. Also, because the equipment is experimental/new it also costs a lot more to deploy. So you get the negative of both cable/dsl in one service, yay!

I admit, there are some area's that only have power (no phone or cable) but those are few and far between. Definitely not profitable markets..Well, over the short term anyway.


Wow, shared bandwith limitations like cable and distance issues like DSL? My god, it's the best of two worlds. :D

I'll admit, it may take a while to get a comparable offering. But once it's there, I'm all for it.

My take on this is forced bundling. Most phone companies force you to get a phone line in order to get DSL. Most cable companies force you to get at least basic cable in order to get their broadband.

As for BPL, don't know too many people that will want to cancel their power service. :D If anything BPL will force the Phone and cable companies to abandon forced bundling.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,10444667 Mon, 07 Jun 2004 16:14:35 EDT Re: Pipe Dream http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,10442888 technick : that's just plan crazy]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,10442888 Mon, 07 Jun 2004 12:21:20 EDT Re: Pipe Dream http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,10442655 macmouse : Its not quite clear... it will definitely be something like cable (where the bandwith is shared in your block).

They only asked 3 people and one of them said that they might switch leading to their 1/3. ha ha]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,10441752 Mon, 07 Jun 2004 09:26:23 EDT Pipe Dream http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,10441737 Monster Rain : 1/3 of existing cable or DSL customers would switch??
