1 edit | Time to cut the lines..... This guy doesn't know what he's talking about. FIBER TO THE HOME/PREMISE is the FUTURE! It can offer UNLIMITED bandwidth and carry DATA/VIDEO/VOICE all on a single line. BPL is NOT the answer, it is SLOW (3mbps) and will be considered "dialup speeds" in a few years. HAM RADIO is CRUCIAL to EMERGENCY communications. All explanations all the BPL people give are proven wrong, you simply don't listen. If you want BANDWIDTH move to a populated area. If you want dialup, stay in farm country. We need to get fiber optics soon. I'll personally cut the power lines, and praise anyone who does the same if they allow this. This is BS, CORPORATE greed. This will not only effect Ham Radio, it'll affect MANY other frequencies.

"This is BS, CORPORATE greed." Where do you plan to work when you grow up?
I don't think anyone on this board is qualified to even comment on how BPL might work out in the future, so quit being so negative. And for those who have what they consider great broadband service and don't care about those who don't, quit being so selfish.

| These people have a valid point, can you explain why BPL is good or even going to work. All the evidence we have now points to future problems caused by BPL. I for one don't need anymore EM waves passing through me. |

| I have no idea if BPL will eventually work or not, but why assume that it will not. If the interference everyone talks about can not be overcome, maybe the technology will morph into something else that is workable. Technology evolves, why can't BPL evolve to something very workable.
I know those who expect fiber to provide 50MB/50MB for $5 mo. may not care, but I have a house in the sticks, and I'd like to see any and all promising technology looked at. |

This is great except for the fact BPL is not a promising technology. It is a fact it will not work without substantial interference to and from everything that uses RF. Any engineer who tells you otherwise got his degree out of a Cracker Jack box. They can couch all of this in fancy terminology to pull the wool over people's eyes. Go ahead feed us your line of crap about modulated non radiating magnetic fields, we know better.
