Re: I'll believe it when I see it...
You did not read this completely. The article references using your in house RG-59/RG-6 to create a 400Mbit home network rather then running CAT-5/6 in older homes, and maybe new ones also. The technology is being developed for cable companies, but why not use it for home networking also. This could compete with WIFI, Homeplug, and Ethernet networks. I wish this was available now. |

| OK, sorry about the outburst. You're correct, I didn't read it thoroughly. I also had it with Comcast and their over priced service so any suggestion that "400 Mbit/sec in just down the road" strikes me a wishful thinking as far as coming from a CATV ISP. I would agree that this would be a benefit to homes that just have coax in the walls. It's also probably a better option then using the power lines for packet transmission since that could also cause a lot of RFI. |
