There is a legal obligation not to  interfere with communications (email
and internet phone would be under this)and all electrical devices should
be fitted with suppressors. Originally devised so 999 calls and radio
communication for police etc.  would work, which is why landlines take
power from POTS. Interference with television  is I suppose now in
regulations.
Reason for most of my power cables having suppressor on end.
