Problem with PLT's and thier wiring is that most of the house wiring is varying lengths strung up between floors and even near roof height. Put in a small spurious signal into that lot then most of the time it'll find a resonant wire and will interfere with licensed services to those local. Cluster in a few complaints and that's when Ofcom will jump especially if broadcasting/communication services are those effected

Yet the average home user will just think it's their BB equipment acting up if at all it effects them due to the proximity of thier own equipment. You work out the db from your signals compared with the signal from/to their own equipment and unless they are direct line of sight without obstacles it's gonna do nothing to them except perhaps make them choose another channel.
