A guy from texas found a way to use the Internet over the electric wire
bringing the Internet to just about everyone. They say the speeds will be
several thousand times faster than modems.
Real racing will finally be awesome again!

every 6 month or so someone claims having invented THE electric wire
based communication technique. I remember a press release of some
company in the US promising exobits (i.e. 1e18) per second ... well ...
if einstein was absolutely wrong: here we go! the current state of
technology is about 1 to 5 Mbps ... shared by all households connected
to the same supply-station, usually 100 or more. so go out and
disconnect your neigbours and you have the speed of DSL for your own
needs. otherwise: forget it!

On the other hand, Sierra could just write a Dedicated Server package for N3
that runs under Kali that would solve the whole issue.
Just such a thing is being looked into. I had a Email conversation with
Kali Tech about it and they're allready working on it.
Fiber is already time division multiplexed, and now they are also doing wave
length division multiplexing on top of that, using fiber amplifiers so the
signal does not have to be re-converted to an electronic signal for
boosting, and using solitons for around the world repeater free connections.
That said, DSL is available fairly widely in Canada at $39.95/mo Can
($27US). I'm very happy with mine: 1.5Mbs down, 512kbs up. I had cable, but
it's performance got very poor as more people subscribed. My DSL is solid.
