  Was just wondering, Singapore Power (SP) rolled out trials for this broadband service whereby the connection would be through the power socket / lines and to the internet exchange (otherwise known as Broadband Over Powerlines (BPL)), a couple of years back.
  
  Claimed to offer superior transfer speed, in the gigabyte range (as compared to the fastest residential speed of 30 megabytes/second, currently)... What happen, arh..., why was the project cancelled...???

  it would be a very good project but i will affect the balance of the internet providers....one of them is singnet...so maybe thats y they never push for he project to go through..but i believe it will be a wonderful project....providing acces to internet at almost anywhere .
  Another reason would be the introducing of wireless broadband...around the island???
