Re: Broadband over electric lines (was: Satellite Internet Service)

I don't know.  I was happy as pie to hear they were going to try this.

I vaguely remember 1-2 weeks ago the FCC? made a ruling on how electric
companies would be responsible to fix inteference problems with TV's, etc.

Where I live, we have an electrical co-op.  You're not a customer, you're a
member.

They have tried hi speed wireless before, but it didn't fly for some
reason.

They certainly try more than the electric company I had in New Jersey.  I
found out about beta testing the internet over electric lines from a
newspaper once a month to let me know what's going on.
