It's called HPNA, and it's great if you have good wiring in your home. And WiFI doesn't work because your inside walls are made of chicken wire which makes your home a faraday cage as opposed to sheetrock which seems to allow WiFi signals to pass through them ok.
However all devices connected via HPNA have to be on the same physical circcuit in the home, so if say 2 plugs are serviced by 2 different breakers then it's simply not going to work. They say you can get speed approaching 200MBs per second, but in my experience the BEST was 10MBs and the avg was closer 1MBs.
