BPL (broadband over power line) is a subset of PLC (power line communication). My town has PLC and it does not show on this BPL database, so your area may still have PLC. Best way to find out is to ask a utility technician that you run into on the street and hopefully they will tell you the truth. Many utilities feel free to lie to the customer today.
If you have Hunt Turtle TS2 power line communication, the meter will most likely have a little turtle emblem on it. TWACS (the worst) PLC's maker is Aclara who's logo is a small red square with rounded corners and two crossed white lines. Our Aclara TWACS meter is a Landis Gyr - it has a transceiver inside to communicate with wireless gas or water meters and whatever else they desire but are not telling us about (: The utility lies to the customers about its wireless capability.

from this link & it states we do not have PLC in ours. Everyone in the US can look up their zip codes.Thank you for the links with great articles to understand this nightmare. I am pleased to say I looked up our zip code.On Mon, May 18, 2015 at 1:32 PM, Fog Top [via ES] <[hidden email]> wrote:Power line communication is synonymous with powerful dirty electricity. I have found filters to be useless in mitigating the DE from it. The very low frequency type PLC used in the USA utilize frequency too close to the 60 Hz signal to be filtered out. TWACS power line communication/meter is so powerful that the signal can be stopped only at the substation, so it remains on the house wiring even when the breaker is off. It causes fluctuating electrical and magnetic fields, wiring to become antennas, and travels into the soil.
Here's excellent information on power line communication - written by an electrically sensitive engineer: http://www.eiwellspring.org/smartmeter/TWACS.htm

Oh yes, power line communication, one of the various way to implement "Smart Meters". Can that be dealt with by treating it as "dirty electricity"? That is, using filters in the house...
