My company has a town house that uses this. I've used it, and it seemed 
fine for internet access, but others complained that it was much slower 
than a traditional cat5 network. It sure is convenient to just stick a 
small box in a power outlet and have network access. For the record, the 
aforementioned house had both ethernet over power and wifi.
