Cinergy plans are to introduce this option to Cinci, Northern Ky, and Eastern In. on March 15. I for one will be looking forward to it. :D

Out here we have Excel energy and Comcast cable who are both also looking at the possibilities of deployment here. Comcast has recently increased their cable modem service to 3Mbps in a wide area of service, so I don't know why they are looking at BPL also. Maybe to "reach more customers" who don't subscribe to cable service and are still on dial up modems with 49.9Kbps or less, usually less. Also maybe to get a "slice of the pie" along with Excel Energy who is most probably going to deploy it, but needs a network provider. The other side of the coin here is the fact that if you are within range of your power/network company and don't have broadband yet, doesn't that say alot about those companies services. I mean with "crappy service" from your network companies, just wait til you see what crappy service means when the power company gets into it too. This is what I mean that they will "act in a like fashion" nationwide. The power grid nationwide for the most part is in dire need of a rebuild. The wiring is falling apart and the power companies response to simple complaints are almost non-existant. Now you want them to deploy a complex network system on their old wiring and expect them to take care of complaints. It is the same thing nationwide and your location doesn't sound any different to me.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,9557752 Tue, 02 Mar 2004 13:58:28 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,9557550 wentlanc : Please learn about this city before you spew your obviously biased opinion here. There are many places that are not far out that have no broadband options at this time because of crappy service from Adelphia and Sprint. But these are all well within Cinergy's range.

"Cincinnati intends to offer 1Mbps for $29.95 a month via electrical outlets"

Cmon can't you read? Cincinnati is a large customer base to deploy in. It would not make financial sense to deploy a technology such as this in a remote area. Your chances of getting this are as good as getting another $1k tax break.
Sure the companies pushing this will tell you that you will get it in the "near future". I wish they would define "near future". It would probably be as good as "it doesn't radiate on open wires".]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,9556914 Tue, 02 Mar 2004 12:36:03 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,9556646 Hall : I remember reading about this either here (this website) or maybe in a Cincinnati Enquirer article about this test. It was easily a year ago and they had it installed in people's homes, not vapor(hard)ware... ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,9556646 Tue, 02 Mar 2004 12:06:12 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,9556585 wentlanc : I knew that the did a trial in an area close to downtown, but I never heard of the results. It could be great for a lot of people who cannot get coverage out here.
