So I've been using the Netgear Powerline Adapter for about a year now... But here's the thing,

In my study, where my modem is, I get 100mbps download speed when the PC is DIRECTLY plugged into the modem, BUT via the powerline I only get about 30mbps.

What's the deal!

Yup. Power line networking is very much a number-8-wire type solution.

If we could move large amounts of data over the power lines, there'd be no point in running expensive twisted pair, fibre, or coax networks everywhere.

Unfortunately, the noise floor kicks in.
