TRENDnet, a best-in-class wired and wireless networking hardware brand, today announces the availability of the first to market 500Mbps Powerline AV Adapter Kit with Bonus Outlet, model TPL-402E2K. The kit comes with two 500 Mbps adapters that feature a built in electrical outlet and embedded power saving technology.
The 500Mbps Powerline AV Adapter Kit with Bonus Outlet creates a secure high speed building-wide network from any electrical outlet. Consumers won't lose the use of an outlet when the adapter is plugged in -as an additional electrical socket is built into the front of the adapter.

Connect adapters quickly using the convenient one-touch connect button. Install up to sixteen Powerline adapters in different rooms for building-wide networking.

My 500Mb/s kit performs very well, slower than gigabit but faster than 100Mb/s ethernet and way faster than anything wireless.
From the product description:
"Thanks to the integrated electrical socket, no existing power outlet goes to waste! You can connect terminal devices and even power strips directly to the adapter"
However they work better and worse in different situations, depends on the quality of your cable, how tight the bends are, if you have static in your line, fuse type, transformer type, do you have noisy AC appliances, that's the annoying when doing anything over your power lines. These are all designed around having new premium wire in what would be considered a good and to code way of installed if they even take it that far.
I have used them previously and they didn't fare too bad, I was able to play games over the network and it was faster than my internet connection, that's all I was worried about.
So they have a GREAT market.
Didn't think they were low enough to rate like that.
Wont buy simply do to that fact... Probably no TRENDnet device.
I have a serious hatred for corporations misleading the general public and getting away with it.
I think I was thinking the TCP/IP overhead, that's far under 50%.
