Commonwealth Edison basically told me to go ahead and call the  
FCC.... they did not want to hear me complain about their inaction on  
my requests for help. It had been 4 months after their tech confirmed  
the problem and wrote it up.
It's going on 1 year for a March 05  complaint,, an April work 
order,,, and NO REPAIR..


Bill,
 
I have been dealing with Commonwealth Edison for years with power line  noise 
problems.
My experience has been about the same as yours.
Years ago I wrote to the FCC . Commonwealth Edison did clear up a few  
problems at the time, but new sources of noise keep cropping up that they don't  
fix. One technician said that noise is a very low priority for them. He said  
that the only thing that they care about is power outages.
