even faster broadband
 

A small Palmerston North company has created a device that will make
broadband internet more than 50 times faster without having to pay hundreds
of dollars installing fibre-optic cables. The system looks like a modem,
and connects with homes' existing wiring to boost broadband speeds without
having to pay for re-wiring a home with fibre-optic

broadband-50X-faster

Sounds too good to be true?

Just a poorly written article typical of technology and science writing
junk in our newspapers. This reporter should have never be let near
anything more complex than a clock radio.
Its about the Telecom Service Delivery Point which Chorus install.

No one invested millions, its not leading edge technology, the report is
complete bullshit and the company should be embarrassed.
It contains a master splitter for adsl/vdsl and has no more benefit to
your broadband speed than installing a master splitter at the
demarcation point.

IMO its great that telecom finally are thinking of installing a proper
demarcation point on houses.

Rest of the world has had them for years, but telecom have still been
installing the crappy little white J box with scotchlocs in them which
make it impossible for the homeowner to do an isolation test.

Ironic, but without water your car would not be powered.plants need water,
for it has hydrogen in it which they exract from the water, thanks solar
energy.

Many plants are about to get going on this process big time in the southern
hemisphere.

They have now corrected their story to "50% faster"

"* An earlier version of this story mentioned the device would improve
speeds "more than 50 times" instead of "up to 50 per cent". We apologise
for the error."
