Re: Broadband Over Power Lines ??

Hello Graham,


One power company here used their 'grid' as a backbone for comms but in a
different way. They installed optic fibre over their HV cables ( literally wound
round it IIRC ) and created a network that avoided all the issues like digging
the roads up.


That's the way to make additional money out of long distance power lines. You can string almost as many fibers and thus bandwidth as you want.

But data transfer over mains wiring is just plain wrong as an approach, IMHO. I believe it's not going anywhere as a technology.
