Here's what I found from their site, so it sounds like TWAC is smart meter of some type, and will be a problem with the extra pulsing, besides that they are broadcasting-
"A TWACS meter is capable of two-way communication with FEC. The meter will be configured to respond to power line FEC based communications broadcast messages. The meters will also collect and transmit data back to the FEC system."
Why do I have to have internet to use the Smart appliances?
The internet connection allows the Home Energy Gateway to "talk" to the appliances so the appliances can appropriately respond to peak time demands and scheduled periods of use. This keeps freezing up
