Works great especially in the back yard where wifi is marginal. Also works in shed 75 ft from house.
I believe you need to have both points on the same side of the household feed. Dish has used a version to good effect.
I love mine. I use one for my ps3 for Amazon to play faster and my computer as well. No complaints.

I love mine. I get around 30 megs of throughput on a kit that's up to 500 Mbps. Its all going to depend on the quality of wiring, if your going cross circuit and how old your electric box is.

I'm using them to connect my D* box to the internet.
Mine are Pluglink made by Asoka
Works great so far, been using them for about a year or two.

They work fine. I use them to provide an Internet connection from my media center to my primary router. My Slingbox is connected using powerline over Ethernet and I get a steady 4 Mbps connection all day long. Link rate for this link shows at about 20 Mbps. Other adapters on my network get over 60 Mbps. I am using first generation adapters listed as 85Mbps.
Newer units do not require that you have adapters on same phase to work.
?Look at Small Network Builders web site they have tested and reviewed a number of these adapters. Latest technology is Gigabyte adapters however just as with WiFi that speed is theoretical.

We have one. It works great! It's a Linksys brand with a built in 4-port ethernet switch. http://support.linksys.com/en-us/support/powerline/PLSK400
Its a Hercules ePlug rated at 85 mbps. Picked it up at a local electronics supply house for about $25 on sale.
