New way to connect to the internet..

Power companies are starting to invest in a technology called BPL (Broadband over Power Lines)..

I think it's great.. More choises are always a plus.

read about it here:

it will be able to handle high-speed data services at 512kbps to 5mbps, along with voice over IP services. The cost of the service will likely be about $30 a month.

No installations is requiered on the Swedish one, just plug in an adapter to your modem from the outlet and hit the internet world! (they do have to do installations at the companys but hopefully they know what they are doing)

I have seen reports that speeds of 200 mbps were gained I though that was in aussie somewere ( canberra orso?)

And in holland they had a test also, but i havent found actual speed results yet, but i think they are around 200 also.
