HomePNA Achieves 320Mbps With Copper

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the hot-copper dept.

illeism writes "Ars Techinca is reporting that the HPNA has made a significant stride in copper speed. From the article: 'The HomePNA Alliance, backers of a networking spec that works over coaxial or twisted pair wiring, has announced the release of the HPNA 3.1 specification. The big news comes in the form of a speed jump from 128Mbps to 320Mbps, which pushes it above competing networking standards HomePlug AV and MoCA (Multimedia over Coax) for the title of fastest networking tech outside of gigabit Ethernet and makes it a more attractive option for triple-play providers.'"

    In my experience with such networks, its not the transfer speed but the response time that makes you want to chew your keyboard.

    Are you new here? This is slashdot. I was required to have at LEAST a cat5e 5 user network in my house with a linux router (that I installed myself) running on a 486 or less before I was allowed to sign up!

    The pornographic implications of broadcast from anywhere on cable tv at a college are awesome.
