Re: Modern broadband speeds from IBEC said by Cheese:said by jay_rm:said by rmmoody: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? |
