1. A method of communicating Internet-based data, comprising:
- detecting, via a transmission detector of a power line modem, a preamble of an Internet-based communication signal received on a 50 to 60 Hz alternating current (AC) power line; and
based on detecting the preamble, automatically directing a switched-mode power supply that receives power on the 50 to 60 Hz AC power line to modify an associated operating mode.

Abstract
In accordance with an embodiment, a method of operating an electronic system includes detecting an incoming transmission on a power line, and modifying a switching behavior of a switched-mode power supply coupled to the power line upon detecting the incoming transmission. Modifying reduces the level of interference produced by the switched-mode power supply.
