Having first hand experience of the effect of these devices on Short Wave, AirBand & Broadband use.
I can say they do block out Shortwave radio Broadcast or Ham Radio, they also make weak Am Airband radio hard to hear & slow down the broadband internet. Having had OFCOM Govement body remove one local to me & seeing the change, I wonder why there not already banned & wonder will it take a Air to Air crash because a pilot or control not hearing traffic.

In Portugal is the same. It´s dangerous to mess up with radioamateurs and CBs: some guys are responding with mobile 4Kw CB amplifiers, destroying the system, while they drive along the streets. Some have quit talking because they say it´s much more fun the PLC hunting…!!!
The Companies using PLC and the like are complitly STUPID, and they are having Big troubles and scandles. Don´t mess with people´s hate thougts when they feal they are coned…

The City of Manassas has ended all BPL service. See, it didn’t work.

I think the strangers taking pictures are officials from the Manassas utilities.

No one will care until it bothers them – when it corrupts their TV, cellphone, cordless, etc – they could care less about it messing with public service and amateur radio service frequencies until they call 911 and no one can contact the parmedics due to the noise – they they will get pissed enough to care like radio operators presently are. The ISPs are looking at the cheapest way to make a buck and leave cable and DSL out, they arent concerned about anything or anyone but.

BPL is a very bad idea, since it causes unquestionable interference to various radio services. Say NO to BPL!

As an amateur radio operator BPL is a very ineffective way of delivering Internet service. It causes interference to amateur radio which is a very important communications tool in times of emergencies. Also causes interference to public service communications. Those promoting broadband over power line are not telling you the whole truth even the FCC has been giving the amateur radio community the run around about BPL. Stop BPL now or lose amateur radio…

you actually think the internet they provide you will allow free thinking? you have another thing coming! They will block any site they consider free thinking or against the government. This is a very bad idea. and they will sneak it in under the guise of more jobs and helping the poor. They are doing this to control what sites you visit. Do we really want government censorship and ownership of the INTERNET? wake up sheeple

Broadband over powerlines is unshielded and trashy. The FCC should do it right or not do it at all.

alieco June 9, 2010 at 10:11 am

leemer12 June 9, 2010 at 11:30 am

wow i would be scared to film someone’s lincense plate in these time and ages. Have you noticed how TV shows blur out the lincense plates? for a reason of course but anyway I hate that BPL is up there in VA like that when there is much better technologies out there like Fiber optics!!! local ulity company in my area competed against cable and DSL and won with fiber optics in there town in TN and everyone loves fiber optic internet it is super fast is what i have been told.
