Hi Robin (and BRD)

> I could go on, but it is tiresome.

Agreed :)

And, far be it for ME to dispute your firmly held theoretical beliefs.

If BPL doesn't work, perhaps you should inform the Tassie telco 'TasTel'
on 1300 550 580 which (verbal quote) "provided BPL to around one hundred
customers for three or four years .. significantly faster than dial-up,
and the BPL service included VoIP for customers ..." 


You should also inform the IEEE ..

9th January 2009  

"Broadband Over Powerline has moved a step closer with the IEEE P1901 
working group approving the baseline for a draft standard .. The access 
part provides for transmission of broadband content on the medium-and-low 
voltage power lines that feed homes"

standard.aspx


And, you should update Wikipedia:

Whatever, all these people should be told it's a 'technical impossibility'

I'm sure they would be fascinated with your mathematical theories/beliefs.

Thus, let's just agree to disagree for now, guys, amicably and peacefully.

It takes one too long, over a 48kps dial up, to seek any more info re BPL.


Cheers,
Stephen
