Fast internet

My son works in networking , he tells me thay got a way to send fast internet over the powerlines and they are testing it out in Pilly ( may be wrong on area ). Started out with 60000 homes and now up to 600000 . I am really interested as i live in a area that cannot get cable or dsl . I have sat. internet and it leaves a lot to be desired . He also says that if you get 3 download you get 3 upload . Has anyone heard about this . If it works out and tests good i will be so interested in it . Boy o boy o boy .

RC he says that you get 3 gigs ( or whatever the terminalogy is ) for around $40.00 / month . That may go up as they release ? Thats about a third of what i pay for satalite . Please write your congressman and tell em i want it ha ha ha ha .

are we talking bandwidth here? or upload/download limits to datatransfer?

The prob with (a)dsl is that you get used to pretty fast download speeds but sending out a lot of data (large emails, serving an internet game) is still relatively slow. For me it would be better if I just got a big bandwidth that can be used for whatever purpose (up or down).

That seems to be a European thing, Canada as well. I don't see limits here in the US. Some 56K's have a limit, but DSL & Broadband for the most part is unlimited... It's $50 a month on avrage also...

Yea, we're spoiled!!!!

I can only get cable. DSL is out of the question, to far out in the picky weeds & pucker brush.

IronMike isn't so lucky where he lives. He can only get satellite. That's pretty fast down, but sucks going up.

Some areas can't get anything, but 56k. I was in that boat until 4 years ago!!

It kind of sucks the way we have to deal with the system here!!

I hope so!!! All ISP's are to expensive. I hope they kick off a price war. The industry needs a boot in the ass!!!

Hadn't thought of that.

We need some competition in the ISP's & Cable TV. In my town the city council approves rate increases for my cable. I've had Millennium Digital, then ATT, now Comcast. These companies are reaping huge benefits on something, or I wouldn't have my service being bought & sold like I change shoes. I can still only use what's approved here & that's it. Service sucks form all of them.

Don't pay your bill on time, they'll show up on Sun. AM to either collect or they shut you off. Call & ask for service & 1 to 1 1/2 months for someone to come out & say everything is just fine. Complain more & they flat out ask you if you want to discontinue it. That's some real class service IMO!!!!

So much for allowing competition.

In MI, Detroit is about the only place you have a choice.

depends on what you pay for your connection. I have no data limit on my connection whatsoever.

When this is fully implemented any home with electrical power will be able to have high speed internet service, man these are exciting times we live in aren't they, look at the technological changes made in just the last 5 years, we're not looking at an addition factor but more of a multiplication factor, can you imagine the next 5 years.

The reason I mentioned the security part was from an article I read on the subject, that claimed the power companies were excited about the possibilities themselves, because it would give them the capability to remotely control far reached sub control stations, that today if they had a problem there, they would have to send someone out to those areas, but this capability would allow them to remotely control the majority of those situations.

So definite strong security measures will have to be implemented to ensure some hacker couldn't access those control stations, thats for sure!
