Hello, Canadian here. Is is possible that powerline adapters can be ISP locked? I have found a great deal on a set of bell powerline Ethernet adapters and I am not with bell as my ISP. I was wondering if I would still be able to use them as the wireless connection on my gaming pc is GARBAGE! I don't think it would be possible and this is probably a dumb ass question but I would like to make sure. Thanks!

They look like the attached img for reference.

Is Bell an ISP or the brand that makes them? Or both?

I don't really see why it would matter what ISP you use since all it's really doing is converting a data stream to electrical pulses, but I guess it's possible that it would be locked to the ISP

    Wish they would let us play the NCAA football 14 on newer xbox, its one of the only games I love and own on disc still, that is not back compatible, bs.

    @BigOnYa My dad recently bought a spare Series X off of me, got game pass, and saw Madden '24 on Game Pass, decided to try it out.

    ...He was a bit taken aback by the 60GB download size. Poor guy's still living in the 90s!

    @K3Nv2 He was looking into consoles for his house anyway (for my younger siblings and himself) and I had a spare XSX and Switch I ended up selling him at pretty steep cuts. I would just give them to him, but I did buy them with the intent to sell them... and college is super expensive.
