<div>Given homeplug tops out at about 50Mbps in only my house, and it's shared medium, I'm thinking it doesn't scale that well. I'm a bit more certain that our current electrical transmission topology isn't optimized for network access, amplifying the first
point.</div>

<td valign="top" style="font: inherit;">I seem to recall Tasmania running a broadband over power line trial a little while ago (pre-NBN).<br>
<br>
Apart from the ham radio operators objecting vehemently to it (with some justification apparently) does anyone have info on the outcomes from this trial ? I'm guessing that it wasn't that successful as nothing has come of it.<br>
<br>
Is there anywhere in the world where broadband over power lines is being widely used or is it another one of those "seems like a good idea until you try it" things ?<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Tony.<br>
