BPL is pie in the sky. Period. It's not going to be a workable system. It
may well start out as broadband, but by the time any real number of
customers come online, it will have dropped well below dialup speeds for
most users. Even ADSL and Cable do this after a while, especially during
peak hours.. and BPL will not have near the bandwidth available that either
of those do.
