Submission + - Liverpool UK Trials 200Mbps Powerline Broadband (ispreview.co.uk)

Mark.JUK writes: The United Kingdom (UK) city of Liverpool has announced new plans to trial a superfast version of Powerline Communications (PLC) technology, which makes use of a country's national power grid to send electricity and broadband internet access along the same cables. The new service claims to offer download speeds of up to 200Mbps (Megabits per second) and its trial by Scottish Power should reach 1,000 homes.

However PLC is a notoriously expensive solution and often suffers from regulatory hurdles. The UK government recently expressed concerned about, "the potential impact this may have on radio users, with interference a possibility at higher frequencies. This could include interference to broadcast radio, aeronautical radio and navigation services."
