All this is just to avoid putting fibre down everywhere. Which would have been better idea. Since fibre is ideal for communications. As it can carry alot of bandwidth more reliably than any copper wire. When most homes have poor speed because the phones were put in long time ago and all the copper has rusted affecting the speed. Then power lines are even older. IMHO stop this and put in fibre
You going to pay for it?Quote:

we will need to get power installed first! :D
