Guest PeePs Posted January 3, 2006 CID Share Posted January 3, 2006 I thought I heard before that no one has done that because the speeds would be a lot slower than normal broadband, but there is probably a 90% chance I heard wrong .

Decade Posted January 4, 2006 CID Share Posted January 4, 2006 Yeah I heard somewhere about how in about 2 years that most people could have broadband over power lines... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anox195 Posted January 4, 2006 CID Share Posted January 4, 2006 you might be right about its slow speeds.... "BPL is not a new technology. People have been experimenting with building communication networks over power lines since the 1950s. But it hasn't caught on due to its low speed, low functionality and high development cost.
