Another option would be to use the electrical lines, but the product that
seems best, from Ilevo (http://www.ilevo.com/), is still in it's prototype
state.
The question is if I should get ADSL (starting deliveries next month was
claimed by the company - I know people who should have gotten it two-three
months ago, 0,5Mbit/s) or wait for the tests from Ilevo to start (starting
this winter, 10Mbit/s and 100Mbit/s) and hope that this area is one were
they'll test it in.
The third option is of course to wait until the entire city can use the
electricity access to the InterNet (assumed to be true in around one year
by Ilevo) and use my old 33.6 modem while I wait.
And as fourth option there's always the hope for using the TV-cable, there
was supposed to be a meeting about that soon but with both these two other
options comming within days between each other I doubt many will be
interested in a joined sollution for 250 houses.
With three options one of them should be good enough wouldn't you think? My
guess is that I'll have to keep on using the modem for over a year anyway :(
