THIS:

"There is a fourth technology rearing its head, one that uses ordinary
power lines to deliver high speed internet. Down in Texas, Broadband
over Powerline (BPL) will be delivered to close to two million people in
the Dallas–Fort Worth area, beginning at the end of this year.

This technology, which obviously utilizes power lines, is said to be
faster than cable or DSL systems, and has matching upload and download
speeds (in some systems the upload speed is slower than the download).
Apparently, installation fees are minimal, since the system works via a
modem plugged into any electrical outlet.

There's always a hitch, however. The power system seems to need to be of
a smart grid type, which is two-way in that it collects data while
transmitting power. Whether that is even feasible in Nova Scotia remains
to be seen.

In any case, the wireless system used in North Queens seemed, to me, to
be fast and reliable. With large company like EastLink set to assume the
service, former and future broadband customers in the area will be able
to sign on with confidence."
