Hell yeah. Thats what I am talking about. 2.5 down may not be quite as fast as I'd like but that 1.3 upload is sweet. Hamradios, we don't need no stinking ham radios what we need is bandwidth baby.

Great. Just what we need... Another ham hater.

Just try to complete your upload when the neighborhood ham starts operating, or CBer, or any transmission within the passband of BPL. Then you'll be on terminal hold with your ISP/utility company to complain; after all that, you still will have no resolution, nor will you have any upload(nor download, for that matter). Your ISP/utility will not be able to stop the RF in your neighborhood from happening. In fact, if your operations cause interference to us, your pipe will be choked or taken down altogether.

Can't we just stop hating and baiting the hams?

No, ham radio is the past, computers are the future, get over it!! :P

Re: 2.5/1.3??!

Digital technology and computers are the rage in ham radio!

Mesh networking on 802.11x under Part 97 rules....Wireless mobile ethernet on 1.2 GHz with DStar, Perceptually coded voice with data interleaved with soft panel interfacing to you PDA or laptop with DStar, ad infinitum.

Yes, there is still the SSB/Voice only Hams, but a lot of new blood is infusing the hobby with programming, hardware, and integration skills.
