Not so sure about that. Maybe different the way circuits wired in different parts of the world but I was downloading at 8 Meg which is that fastest my DSL line supports last weekend whilst the washing machine, electric oven and microwave were running with no issues.
And that was on 2 different ring mains, router is down stairs plugged into the ground floor ring, and PC upstairs plugged into the upstairs ring, these circuits go back to the main fuse box and the signal will have to pass through 2 circuit breakers. Never had a hiccup with homeplug, Wireless on the other hand is getting more difficult with every house in the street having wireless and only a limited number of channels, even with N we have trouble getting a signal through a small 2 story house successfully all the time.
