So you think you have a carpy line;


The University of Aberdeen has used local sewers to install a fibre broadband line aimed at connecting the main campus with its student village halls of residence, replacing an existing microwave Internet link.

Typically this wouldn't be the first time that sewers have been used to install high speed fibre, proving especially useful for some operators inside major cities where digging up the road simply isn't cost effective.

The hardware uses H20 Network's fibre technology and is due for completion during mid-September 2007. Once at its destination the connection is then spread out to students using a newer 'ResNet' wireless broadband system.

However, it's noted that the university intends to hard wire the new network into rooms as the halls of residence are slowly refurbished over the next 10 years.



Tough shiit if you are turd on the line..  ;D
;D

It does seem a pratical solution, and one I perfer to having the roads dug up all the time!

I wonder if the GoogleISP april's fool joke gave them the idea for this!

I can see sewers being used increasingly in this way, the cost benefits are huge. With fibre, there shouldn't be any problems with joints etc.

Customer;  My line has slowed down?

Service Team;  There seems to be a few condoms on your line, we will send our underground team to clear the offending items.


Underground Team;  Muttering to each other; I bet that numpty at 42 has had another orgy. ;D
