Has anyone seen this new broadband service you can get where every power socket in your house becomes a broadband point?

I just got a leaflet through from Southern Electric about it - dunno if anyone else does it, but it's such an amazing idea. You can just plug your computer in anywhere in the house and go on the internet right away.

I've seen those things you can get to make a network in your house through the existing wiring, which was a top quality idea in itself, but this takes it a step forward and is all inclusive with the broadband package.

Good stuff.

Wonder if you could get it to work for your consoles ...
Would save a hell of a lot of wire buying or wireless internet setting up in any case.

Thompson & Linksys alredady produce adapters to allow you to use your domestic loop for data. In the US, poer sockets now have BB & telephone sockets included as standard. Makes perfect sense as your domestic loop is copper after all! Only real problem is if your upstars and downstairs are on seperate ring mains as this obviously prevents you networking from down to upstairs.

As always, old news, except in the UK!
