| Re: BPL is Faux Broadband 2 way cable ends at the house next to me(Though about 950' away) They refuse to extend it.
Verizon RT about a mile from me(fiber fed for a decade), no tech has even heard rumors about them providing DSL through it.
Electric company did away with meter readers, it is read automatically and sent back via fiber. I can see the maps with fiber runnings all around the valley I live in.
BPL, is my best shot. No it won't be 7MB down, or fios. But I can live with BPL if they provide 2/3 of the 1.5 up and down. This should be no poblem as the people I know with it are getting the full 1.5 | |

| Well, there you go - if your BPL solution borrows some of that there fiber's broadband, you will blow everything away as far as speed is concerned! Sans interference as a result if they use that fiber. But still, you did not answer the question of where your BPL provisioned friends are in relation to town, and cross that with your distance from town. I am really curious to hear about that. I am surprised that power companies did not already use their "right of way" on their own utility poles and lines to string up a fiber loop network. *THAT* is the stuff to build BPL on, no free radiating wires.
