Homeplugs (ethernet over power) are fine for some things, but they add so much latency to the network.

Wired is so much better.

The number of people that are anti wires, but also want WiFi signals everywhere is too high.

    Powerline is so leaky it is basically wireless with wires. 14x3 is not a transmission line, but it does effectively turn your whole home electrical system into both a transmitting and receiving antenna that just happens to talk to it's self. It's an engineering nightmare.
