Cincinnati Gets Broadband Over Power Lines

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the zap dept.

kotj.mf writes "According to the Cincinnati Enquirer, Cincinnati-area electric utility Cinergy has become the first electric utility in the country to offer broadband over power lines. There's also a press release. At $29.95/month for 1 Mb/s both upstream and down, it's only a few bucks more than the local dialup providers. Can we expect the power companies to start giving Cable and DSL providers a run for their money? Finally, my town gets AHEAD of the times, for once."

    Wonder what it'll cost to get a line run up to Ann Arbor / Ypsi from Cincy? :)
