As I understand BPL (which isnt much) it comes right to the wall outlet.
That's the sell feature, your internet comes in on the same plug as power.
So it may be in your house.  I wonder if a heavy duty RF filter across the
power main coming into the house wouild help?

Yje ARRL is trying to fight it and needs support. www.arrl.org
