Default Why have we allowed the mains cabling to be used to send signals and crap on?

It would actually be interesting to find out the percentages of people
who predominantly listen to radio on:


FM

Rarely, unless the car radio go to it from DAB


Most all the time..


DAB

In the car and on my bedside radio, Also in our sitting room


Not going to the change the motah just because its not got DAB!..


Internet


Main listening at home

Freesat

No satellite receiver

Freeview


In the kitchen



LW, MW and SW.


I could almost say 'never'.


It will be!, more Medium wave Tx's are being switched off soon
commercial and BBC local!....



I suspect the latter will be in single figures.....


My in-laws live in a stone farmhouse where (a) WiFi does not travel well
and (b) has thick stone walls and wood beams so it is challenging to wire
the house up with ethernet..... and (c) it is actually cheaper to use the
mains networking than wiring up.


We just have hard bricks - not good for wifi or mobile phones. I have 5
mains network outlets for wifi. Alows SWMBO to use her iPad where ever she
wants.

The main overlooked problem with wi-fi is the limited number of channels
in the 2.4Ghz band tho I did hear that Ofcom are to widen out the 5.8
Ghz band up her the 6 Ghz region...
