Synergy (Western Power) were working on Internet over Power some years ago in South Perth and some other areas which was canned due to some issues with Ham radio users?

It wasn't just ham radio, although that's what the power companies emphasised.

Broadband over power lines turned sections of the electrical grid into
giant broadcast antennae, spraying RF in all directions.  The fifth
harmonic blatted air traffic control frequencies, which is probably the
number one reason why the technology was never, ever going to... fly.
