Noo. It's actually quite slow compared to even standard DSL.
(at least the trials that have been going on...)
Broadband over Power lines is going nowhere fast...

Power lines are designed for 60 Hz signals, not 1,000,000,000 Hz signals. Add in the fact that UWB can take up to 250,000,000 to 500,000,000 Hz of spectrum, you get all sorts of losses and smearing that are in the realm of third or fourth year engineering or physics and require a bit more math than A+B=C. Add in the fact that we are talking pulses (very high frequency harmonics to keep it clean), you fast reach the point of no signal at all on a power line. Plus it is a low power radiated standard, not a transmission line standard.

This will be more for your home wireless LAN replacement.
