Yep and so you have at your neigboors.
The PLN was no security about that. The power lines don't stop at frontdoor. And so doesn't the datastream. Except for the use of encription.
But that has a big toll on bandwith.... nah nah nah.

edit.
The same goes for Wlan.

tsk tsk tsk, nope my friend Here, the PLN stops at the electricity counter. It doesn't spread upwards. My home network is completely self-contained inside my building. The only issue would be if I was in a tower AND if I was sharing my electricity bills with neighbours. Oh and encryption is enabled by default; PLN is just 802.11 standards moduled on a wire instead of in the air

Insert coin to continue...

lol. I read about this technology before, but it was not that 'good'. As pmb said, in flats or high buildings, with lots of electricity, you have a lot of data loss. Also bad-wired buildings deliver poor speeds.

The conclusion was, you better can use real network cables, gives you speeds you can never really reach with electricity cables... ie, 1000Mbit

Do you have special electricity meter ???

[Pierre-Marie Baty]

Well, I don't know in the netherlands but here everybody has filters on his power counter... and the quality of the power network is VERY good (partly because of that).
