Spring Valley, CA | ENOUGH!!! BPL is a loser and i wish the fcc and it's backers would see that and STFU about it already... duke nukem forever will be out before bpl ever sees the light of day... if it even had a modicum of a chance of working and not screwing up the spectrum it supposedly says it doesn't harm, no one would want it anyway...
it's these lame conceptual ideas that sound great in the airy fairy world of venture capital, but hey, maybe i could propose we start a project that could carve out a piece of the sun and bring it back to satisfy all the needs of the earth for infinity and beyond... :rolleyes: |

Most people don't need a symmetrical connection unless they're doing P2P or serving websites from their house. The majority of the public doesn't know or care if their connection is symmetrical so it's not a big driver for BPL. |

| You can bet on it that most of the gamers out there will want it. There is a very LARGE number of gamers out there.

They're usually the most excited about BPL, besides the people who own BPL stock  Both usually know the least about BPL's technical aspects (not intended as a slur, but often the truth).
I'm not a gamer so forgive my ignorance, but do games really require a lot of upstream bandwidth? I can see a lot of downstream for graphics and audio (which presumably would be limited as well in order to allow lower bandwidth users), but upstream I would imagine is just short control messages. It would seem to me low upstream latency would be more important than bandwidth. |

It would seem to me low upstream latency would be more important than bandwidth. In order to host large matches a large upstream pipe is a must. Also yes low latency is VERY important, but BPL can deliver that too. I have seen some post from actual BPL users and the pings looked just as good as any other provider.
It will also come in handy for things like Slingbox, uploading pictures, etc.
