Probing the ISP service

1 - Could you tell us how is your LAN protected in the event of a lightening strike or grid brownout on the powerline?
2 - Have you very carefully read your subscriber agreement?
3 - Have you measured the availability of the service and maintaining these rates? Is it operating at same level of availability as your cable connection 7x24 5NINES along with Client Care? Are you confident that these rates will be maintained as new subs are added?
4 - Are you running a business on it? And would you?

I totally agree with challenging the telcos/cablecos duopoly but it is far from clear whether BPL is a credible challenger. Therefore we have to be very careful about the horse we gamble on.
