I'm not sure if anyone else has tried using these things, but there are 
products that advertise 200Mb/s networking over a house's power lines.

http://www.trendnet.com/products/proddetail.asp?prod=105_TPL-302E2K&cat=65

Years ago a friend used the older version of this type of product to get 
about 10Mb/s, and never reported any issues.  He was more concerned about 
latency rather than throughput though.
