[Antennas] BPL

[Jay Eimer]

And BPL also has distance limits, plus requires hardware to jumper over
inline transformers, amplifiers, etc.  The ONLY advantage of BPL is they
don't have to string a new wire (over cable).  Otherwise, cable, DSL,
and BPL are about equal.

All the power companies are trying to do is take a bite out of the
cable/DSL market share before a better solution (probably enhanced DSL
and/or wireless) puts them all under.

   Dial up is slow, and ties up the phone line, BPL is fast(er). DSL is
limited to 19,000 wire feet and is slow past 15,000
(feet) or so.
