For what its worth, theres a concept of last mile to the curb that is used to set standards for thru-put delivery. In most cases, the phone company is charged with establishing broadband infrastructure to the consumer. Except when in rural areas where there may not be enough infrastructure to justify deployment such as low census counts. For apx two plus years the power companies have been pushing a white paper for setting standards on broadband over power lines. To this point, their thru put can run as fast as 200mbps, but will obviously be throttled down to be in line with current service providers for now. It is most likely that you'll be quite satisfied with the service.
Hope that helps. -----Original Message----- From: Larry Lyons [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, August 11, 2006 11:48 AM To: CF-Community Subject: Re: broadband over Powerlines? >Does anyone have Broadband Internet Access over PowerLines? > >It is offered in my area and I am considering it but not sure on the >reliability.
