You will know when BPL comes to your neighborhood. It will be apparent when your broadcast band AM radio becomes a worthless pile of squeals, clicks and digital hash.
"If you don't have a BPL modem and ISP service over that modem, you don't need a "firewall" for your powerline."(Myrddin)
Thanks again Myrddin, I should have included a /saracasm with my earier post about a firewall, sorry about that.
