In this sense, "broadband" usually refers to Internet access using power line communication technology.
The following pilot projects have ended: As of April 2007, Motorola has shuttered its Powerline LV Access BPL and reportedly plans to re-purpose the technology to a new system called Powerline MU,[24] which is for use within multiple-unit dwellings.
Motorola's system uses only residential-side low-voltage power lines for transmission to reduce the antenna effect, and successfully demonstrated frequency-notching for reduced potential for interference over the Amperion Inc. and Current Technologies LLC systems.
Preliminary results were very positive with regard to interference, because the Motorola system does not use BPL on the powerlines leading up to the neighborhood.
This limits the interference to the area surrounding the last leg to the house.
