| BPL Increase As another put it... SBC announced 100% coverage on the same day... interesting and probably not a coincidence.
They see BPL as taking away customers (especially those with SBC phone but no DSL available).
If it causes so much interference why dont they use some sort of insulation on the wires? Wouldnt that cut down or elimiate interference... hell, just go out and wrap them all in aluminum foil! lol
What speeds can BPL get to and how far can it go? Is it like DSL were it fades after X feet or miles? |

Insulation If It's plastic would possibly melt as that's not 110vac or even 220vac. |

High voltage on a line won't cause the insulation to melt under normal circumstances. There are insulated MV lines in use in places.
Insulation would allow radio waves to pass through. Shielding would prevent BPL signals from leaking out, but this would be expensive to implement. There already is a shielded medium in use now on poles carrying high speed data. It's called Cable. |
