Well it is an AC signal and it is balanced in that equal and opposing
current flows in two adjacent wires. Why would this be any different than
the <3.5K analog audio portion? Twisting and/or shielding helps with
ingress and egress. If it were not balanced there would a a lot of low
frequency RF bouncing around in those 500 pair cables out on the poles!
This is the argument against BPL. A totally unbalanced RF signal sitting
on a great antenna! Crap technology!
