Re: If you are planning on buying homeplugs - consider this first.

Which at that freq is going to attenuate through buildings really fast.. even at 300w.

Lets see you transmit a few miles through a built up area compared to how far you'd get on a sub 30Mhz signal with a standard antenna. With a few milliwatts people have transmitted over thousands of miles (current QRP record is 1650 miles @ 30Mhz on 1microwatt)

That's the crux here, ofcom don't care about single cases or signals that don't effect many users. Where as a PLT can effect many users with a cumulative effect in inner city areas where lots of these devices can be in one area
