Please do not take up torches and pitchforks and go after the hams.
Fact: Eaton and ARRL worked together to solve the problem. There is an old thread here to that effect. The badly designed breakers should be replaced. The run seems to be in houses built near the same time. Do your homework and follow through for replacement.
I am not going to look for the original thread right now because I am going out and about to the art show. But everything you need to know is buried somewhere in the archives here, including my own posts with the specifics with a link to the ARRL article explaining the problem and the solution.
Please do your homework. Don't be so eager to accuse. This is a design problem that Eaton solved with the help of hams.
