BPL can interfere with your shortwave listening, too.

200Mbps??? I don't THINK so. They don't even have those speeds available in
the infrastructure they would use to feed BPL. Someone read something wrong
somewhere. My ADSL is 8Mbps, my cable is 10Mbps. BPL promises a fraction of
either of those in reality. With a maximum bandwidth of 75MHz, even with
compression, on the main feed, divided amongst a number of users, actual
bandwidth would be around 800Kbps to each user, from all accounts I've
read... 200Mbps, indeed.. that would take out not only the entire HF but
also about 80% of VHF...

200Mbps does seem a bit far-fetched, even under tightly
controlled conditions... What's next - OC-192 throughput to
the desktop?

Ha. And it'll be filled with porn, spam and virii.

Hmmm...Earthlink says that BPL not viable commercially now or in the
near future. It's too expensive.

The article has things backward like referring to the "last mile" as the
"first mile." The 200Mbps number is just not reasonable for a BPL
service.

Probably has an M where there should be a K. As for OC-192 to the desktop.
Once has a laptop that had one, back in the day I used to commission such
systems for the likes of Leve3 and Wiltel

Actually there are two modulation schemes available under DOCIS 1.1,
the slow one is 10Mbps, the fast one is about 36Mbps, and if your
cable modelm is DOCIS compliant, it supports both. I haven't seen a
cable system operator yet that uses the 36Mbps capability however.
