I remember hearing a while ago that Nortel was in the process of developing high-speed internet access that runs along the powergrid. I dont know much of the details, or given Nortel's situation even if they're still doing it, but that would be a nice alternative. I wouldn't get this satelite deal though, here in Canada there is a similar service starting thats about CAD$150 / month, (~£60/US$100) ofcourse you already need a digital cable terminal and be signed up for every single tier... its still not worth it :) -- Adam McDaniel Infrastructure Technology Consultant M-Tech Mercury Information Technology, Inc.
