They are thinking of putting this in our area thru the electric company.
Here is the offering
256kbps................Is that slower than 1 mb

access thru your electrical outlets
free customer support by phone
$29.95 month
modem ...........one time $99.
Your responses will help determine feasibility of developing the nw service..

Sounds good to me .

Whats your thoughts?
I am still dialup.

Thanks
dodge

Well, first off; anything is better than dialup lol...

256kbps isn't that fast in all honesty, but it will clear up your phone line for, you know, phone calls lol...

Myself, I'd be kind of leary bout broadband over power; but it is an emerging tech so I can't really state weather or not it'd be good or not

Trust me... dialup is evil, you won't regret getting 256kbps

Only thing available in our area thus far.. I assume this will take a while to get done too..

We are hoping.
I think it was down 4 times the past week......I have become a pro fixing it .

Some time I know more than they do. :ding:
