Conceptually, being a shared medium, it would actually be good if PLC stopped at the per-apartment power meter ... it probably does not. > > Ethernet over PLC can be an option inside a house, when walls block > Wi-Fi signal from the main router in the living room.

Flat profile ethernet CAT6 cables are surprisingly convenient to fudge around in a way that while not beautiful is not "an eye sore", and easily carries 1/2.5/5/10 Gbps ethernet full duplex (no TDM no FDM)... If you get them in white on a white wall they can be made inoffensive with little effort. > Regards, > > David > > 2023-03-15 17:19 GMT+01:00, Vint Cerf <[email protected]>: >> that did not work in a test in Silver Spring, MD because the signals got >> mashed in the transformer. >> >> v >> >> >> On Wed, Mar 15, 2023 at 12:17 PM Dave Taht via Starlink < >> [email protected]> wrote: >> >>> I still think that ethernet over powerline could make a comeback, if >>> they fixed the bloat.
