I'm working overseas and am working with some folks to provide replacement network connectivity to our houses, replacing 33K dial-up modem connections.
We've thought about 802.11b, but I have my serious doubts, given the hilly terrain, tall trees and constant moisture.
Ethernet over power may be an option, but we have a lot of pole transformers. Will this work? I would apprecaite any one with experience here chiming in.
DSL over telephone lines sounds promising but expensive.
We run our own telco and power company so I have a certain 'give' most folks stateside don't have.
What low bandwidth (1 Mb/sec or less) options do we have? Something that works through all of the issues I mentioned above? Anything line-of-sight is probably out. Radio anything?
Thanks.
