i always forget to check the speeds, but i have broadband cable and i never notice any difference between when i'm directly wired to my cable modem and when i use powerline. (and my cable modem is mui fastico!)
supposedly you can travel 150-300 feet down the powerline. i contacted the manufacturer to find out more about the outer limits of it's ability and they really didn't know, so my big test is that i'm going to take it to school and plug an ethernet cable into an adapter and them i'm going to attach the adapter to electrical plugs further and further from the original room. we have 7 ethernet outlets in every classroom, but it would be cool to also have any electrical outlet wired. (options... options)
