My 2p worth having bought a pair to use as a temporary solution to
provide Internet access during an office move and waiting for NTL to
move the termination points. They work pretty well, but with the
following caveats:

1. They act as a bridge, so set them up behind a router accordingly if
you don't want your entire network slowing down to the lowest common
denominator of bandwidth available
2. "Equipment like vacuum cleaners, drills etc. which feed back noise
onto the power line can *destroy* the connection totally while in use.
It restores when the offending piece of equipment is turned off however,
but be warned
3. They won't traverse multiple powerline circuits from the fuse box
