If you can run a power line somewhere, you can run the fiber optic cable to it too. And are we just concerned about profit? I don't want to appear right-wing here, but it all revolves around getting the most money out of the least amount of effort. These companies make lots of money, they can afford fiber. Most rural area's POTS lines too right? So when you build, put fiber, not copper.

The main point for me is that BPL wil interfere with a lot of communication devices, mainly Amateur Radio. And being one, I have to defend that point!

And yes ha ha, internet of phone-lines, ADSL came at a time when other broadband options were not there. But the spectrums for both DSL and Cable internet for narrow. And these are already ment to transport some kind of signal. For to make powerlines usefull, we are talking 100 times the frequency spectrum (bandwidth) all which make noise and can produce spurious signals that interfere.

Still today, new buildings and houses hardly get fiber. If they start using it, it gets cheaper.

Thanks Jerome, that's kinda to idea.

Insane! Unacceptable!

Stop using distribution networks what they are not ment for!
Besides it MAYOR interference with the Amateur Radio Service,
people are getting a loosy deal, poor quality and nothing new.

Say NO to these cheapos who want to leach every transmission line, after the phone and cable lines, now it's power. What's next, water and gas lines. Google wasn't that stupid when suggestion broadband over sewer lines, but instead just run fiber through it.

Instead of reusing junk, start putting in fiber everywhere. Most all of Europe has fiber to any commercial building and residence, but here we are TOO cheap.

When will someone do it right, stop making a mess. It's simple, power over copper, everything else over fiber!

1 out of 3 aint bad ;-)

Gimme yo phone!

I won! (I hope...)

If I don't win it, I may have to buy it.
