THE delay-plagued national broadband network tender is officially under way, but it will probably take at least six months for a winner to be revealed...

Your guess is as good as mine......

beats me why they are running a fiber network.
everyhouse has electricity, the cables are already there, just a filter in and you can pigy back the electrical signal and bingo, it's all in place.
i knwo it's not as easy as that, but why waste money and time ona system that is already flawed, fiber doesnt bend so well.

I'd love that system, Haven't herd much about it, But did here a little last year..
That is the only way I'll get high speed Internet, Through home power lines.
People seem to forget some of the problems delivery via power lines has, including interference to existing radio technologies...
In urban areas, wireless really is the go... so portable. With Next G being 21Mb/s by December 08, 42Mb/s by December 09 and the goal of 1GB/s within 5 years there's a lot that can be hung off it.

broadband over power sounds like every hackers wet dream to me. Really, power lines are a terrible medium, the only thing going for them is that they are already there.
Fibre is limitless in bandwidth, no problems with noise on the line, secure, and extremely futureproof.

Are you joking? Fibre can coil around a 20 cent peice without degredation or signal loss and is not affected by wet weather.

Fibre is not limitless and most certainly is NOT secure...

Considering the noise on my phone line, I don't think anything would run on it..
I'd try anything now.
Ahhh Yes, Ahhh Yes....
to hak a cat five you need 1xCAT5e(6 etc) cable and a pair of side cutters, to hack a fibre cable, you need a terminator unit + tools to terminate the lines etc etc... its a whore to try and hack. Out of all techs atm ava. to communiteis, fibre wins hands down sideways.
Data over power lines is way to dodgy and flawed, until they come up with some really good noise reduciton data integrity algorithims, its just not a great solution. Wireless is good, very insecure even with latest WPA2 setup on it, that and the speeds are just not there, and never will be in comparison to hard lines.
The issue is, fibre (and a butt load of it) needs to be run anytime the ground is dug up anywhere... new road? lay fibre.. get the infrastructure down. Alllow at for multiple duplex channels to run each road. Build an estate? run fibre to everyhome and allow for growth.
What needs to be addressed is DSLAM-HOME setups first... you run fibre to everyhome and the ISP side bottle necks can be addressed a lot easily.
Large communication fibre doesnt have a great bend radius, its not like split core cat5, it will fracture. However its still very usable!
plan for future! way way way!
