Yup, do listen to what Michael Hayes says here, given that he lectures
that at uni... ;-)

The bottom line is, Ethernet over power line is a bit like broadband
over phone line - an abuse of carrier channels that were not made for
the purpose of carrying high frequency signals. The results are, while
astonishing, still predictable.

If you can run copper through your house you will always have magnitudes
more bandwidth and reliability. Everything else is user beware.
