It is slow, but it beats dialup. And, in some remote rural locations it may be the only way some folks will ever get broadband. Too far for DSL, and no one else is going to drop coax or fiber in such sparse areas.
That's what wireless is for...
And if wireless doesn't serve the area?
You usually have to build wireless, T-1s, or fiber into the area to backhaul the BPL traffic anyway because BPL can't do long haul. This is for rural areas, so T-1 costs are going to be outrageous. The only fiber this rural area will see is Metamucil. That leaves wireless. So, do you mess with BPL feedpoints, repeaters, and electrically dirty lines, or just install wireless and be done with it?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Modern-broadband-speeds-from-IBEC-21418946 Wed, 12 Nov 2008 19:48:45 EDT Re: Modern broadband speeds from IBEC http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Modern-broadband-speeds-from-IBEC-21418480 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Modern-broadband-speeds-from-IBEC-21418480 Wed, 12 Nov 2008 18:21:15 EDT Re: Modern broadband speeds from IBEC http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Modern-broadband-speeds-from-IBEC-21418266 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Modern-broadband-speeds-from-IBEC-21418266 Wed, 12 Nov 2008 17:39:29 EDT Re: Modern broadband speeds from IBEC http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Modern-broadband-speeds-from-IBEC-21418147 said by Cheese:

I'm under the impression that they're already getting taxpayer money in order to install a technology that has failed time and time again. Sure it's a loan, but guess what, they're going to fail and go bankrupt and none of the money will be repaid.

I'd rather pay twice as much in taxes and have it spent well than pay half as much in taxes and have it all wasted.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Modern-broadband-speeds-from-IBEC-21418147 Wed, 12 Nov 2008 17:15:39 EDT Re: Modern broadband speeds from IBEC http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Modern-broadband-speeds-from-IBEC-21417439 --

Then expand it to serve the area... You could expand the wireless coverage for a fraction of the cost of building a BPL network.
