It was the producers and traders (e.g. Enron). Power Line Communications is a viable alternative. Total throughput should be about 2Mb/s in the next year or two...]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,6511409 Tue, 08 Apr 2003 07:03:03 EDT Re: Yeah! http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,6508555 dvd536 :

Or raise speeds. 640/272 or 256/256 may have been fine 5 years ago but things need to change or Qwest is going to be left in the dust.

You can never be too rich, too thin or have too much Bandwidth]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,6508555 Mon, 07 Apr 2003 21:29:18 EDT Not in California http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,6507644 DHRacer : Well, of you're a Californian, then maybe broadband over powerlines isn't such a great idea. Besides the rolling blackouts we also had our rates raised by 200% at one time.

That already sounds like your average broadband provider to me. What's the point of powerline broadband if it isn't stable and cheap. Any Californian that signs up for this is clearly not thinking properly.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,6507644 Mon, 07 Apr 2003 19:59:57 EDT Re: Yeah! http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,6506433 AthlGrond :

I wouldn't count on it. Qwest has been overpriced compared to Comcast (for years as AT&T) and Qwest doesn't appear to be in any big hurry to lower prices.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,6506433 Mon, 07 Apr 2003 17:41:57 EDT Yeah! http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,6506291 somebodeez : "....power line companies will likely unveil their product at a significant price reduction from DSL and Cable, forcing an immediate price war"
