Not just those on your street but everyone connected to the national grid,
those living next to large pylons get the majority of your download speed.

Well that is far better than the product spec. which says 200 mtrs.

Note it says "Currently out of stock"

A mere technicality. ;-)

Well says half price as well to me looks as if they have been clearing
stocks.

Hi,


I understand that signal wise it is said that generally it is rare, unlikely
or very low signal leakage out back past your electricity board / meter and
will then only be to every third other house (as I understand that is how
three phase power is split to residential houses - one phase to each house,
one after the other, three in a row). Thus the distance to the next house
would typically be really quite significant further given the damping /
attenuation at the electricity board / meter at your property.

The second thing is that in any event (e.g. a converted building with say
flats all on the same phase), they are supposed to be or at least I believe
can be set-up with encryption much like Wi-Fi (wireless / WLAN internet), so
even if someone else could pick up the signal (which should be is border
line or very unlikely at best [in most cases / scenarios - usual residential
property street format) the data can be encrypted, etc. (making trivial or
pedestrian use of your services almost impossible and data access or theft
quite unlikely and difficult at best - assuming best encryption standards,
settings and configurations [all of which change over time as does computer
power and hence decryption capabilities]).


Best wishes,

So far as we're concerned, our nearest neighbour is 150 metres away on
the other side of the road. They haven't reported any problems.
