Broadband over 'wet string' tested for fun


Recommended Posts

Engineers at a small British internet service provider have successfully made a broadband connection work over 2m (6ft 7in) of wet string.

The connection reached speeds of 3.5 Mbps (megabits per second), according to the Andrews and Arnold engineer who conducted the experiment.

The point of the experiment appears to have been purely to see if it was achievable.

The firm does not believe there is a way to exploit the finding

I think they’re wrong to say that there’s no way to exploit it, I’m pretty sure this is what BT have been using to deliver ADSL since 2000 ;)
