Linksys Powerline connections: Wired without wires

摘要

Last week here in Gearhead I discussed my ongoing saga of trying to get decent IP DSL service from AT&T U-Verse. Since that column, things have not improved and AT&T just dropped my line speed from 6Mbps to 3Mbps. Somewhere along the way gremlins got into the system and now the latency I'm seeing has increased by roughly 10 times (att.com was averaging 45 microseconds; now it's almost 450 microseconds).
