have created a way to send data over power lines and into homes at speeds between 500 kilobits and 3 megabits per second (equivalent to DSL and cable).

I didn't see a date on this article but it appears to be old.

3 mb/sec.?

My DSL connection push's 20 mb/sec.

I played with PowerLine Networking in the mid 90’s. Those were the typical advertised speeds at the time. I see a “2004” watermark in one of the illustrations so I suspect this “how-to” is at least 10 years old.

That was (and apparently continues to be) the problem with BPL - pathetically slow.
