Wow...no wonder its taking so long for dial-up to die. Broadband companies refuse to get it in gear and make the necessary moves to make sure there's no honest reason NOT to get broadband. Between SBC and its 15 dollar deal being in like, six states, and BPL moving as slow as frozen molasses, we're getting nowhere.
BPL could easily be deployed in rural areas (like where I live--eleven miles away from the nearest CO). Everyone has electricity, and from what I've read, there's no extreme process required to install it...unlike Cable. (Which I've waited nearly 2 months for.) But they seem intent on being permanently small-time, and it seems the only way for people in rural areas to get broadband is to either wait or move.
LOL two months waiting for cable so far eh? I waited over 3 years for my first DSL service. It all comes down to money, if they cant make enough, they wont offer the service for a long time.

if they do it right and replace all the lines with shielded wires i can understand a 3 year time frame but why bother replacing the lines if you can just use fiber?
