Re: Distnace from CO? said by madrhino: Anyone know the distance requirements? you should be good up to 10,000 ft. depending on your line conditions of course.

BPL causes massive electromagnetic interference and is not cost-effective. Bad troll, you fail. Try again. |

Be aware that BPL can be taken down by a legal cb radio operator BPL is not the way to go.
FTTH is
And no I am not totally against BPL just need to use a diffrent frequency set.
like 2-400 or even higher up. Sure costs more but less chance of interference.

Exactly! No ISP is going to provide you fast SYMMETRIC at consumer pricing. BPL isn't going to give you this either. You want symmetric above ISDN speeds, you better be ready to pay for it in spades.
Besides you will never see 5Mbps download (let alone upload) on BPL outside of a laboratory that's fully RF shielded. No ISP is going to give you 5/5 symmetric unless you are willing to shell out serious bucks. |

Nearly every frequency band has been licensed by the FCC and has communications on it at this point. The exceptions are the amateur bands, but you can't very well go stomping all over someone's 2.4GHz Wi-Fi setup or the other amateur equipment at 160-210MHz and ~600MHz. |

The theoretical maximum for DSL is 1 Mbit/s upload, and in the field 896 Kbps is probably the maximum current equipment can squeeze out if it.
You will need Cable or VDSL to get more. Or FIOS of course

I have 10/10mbit FTTH for about $50 per month.
2005-05-02 23:24:18 EST: 8769 / 8334
Your download speed : 8980193 bps, or 8769 kbps.
A 1096.2 KB/sec transfer rate.
Your upload speed : 8534850 bps, or 8334 kbps.
Although tests at this time show about 9/9  |

| said by SamsungSucks:So you can reach your 20GB cap faster:) Heh... Japan is quite different. I wouldn't compare Japan Broadband to the US broadband market.
The cap is 40 gig per month either direction (up or down; whichever is greater), but one month I've reached over 80 gigs uploaded and never got charged for. Go figure... ?? |

BPL *could* work fine on UHF and above frequencies, as those signals do not propagate around the world like HF and sometimes low band VHF. Even very low power signals in the HF portion of the spectrum will propagate easily, and can travel around the world. This will cause a problem when those signals are interference, and are traveling on wires that happen to be excellent radiators (antennas) for the frequencies in operation. If the frequency was increased, the power lines would be less efficient radiators, and will inherently cause less interference. Secondly, because of the nature of UHF/SHF/Microwave propagation, what interference that did escape would not travel nearly as far as it would if it were @ HF.
This technology isn't purely evil, but it in it's current state it is far from being ready for deployment. Experiments with BPL in the upper frequency bands have proven viable.
