Default Netgear delivers 85 Mbps over power lines
Price is going to hold some people back. A pair of first generation 14 Mbps HomePlug devices cost around $71.00 (down from the $129.00 list on Amazon.com). A pair of the XE104 units list price $199.00 at the local Big Box. Of course, if you want to go over 100 Mbps with Wi-Fi, you're likely to end up shelling out a larger sum of money, especially if you start factoring in the cost of individual Wi-Fi frobs when compared to plugging things into the PLT bridge. Finally, if you are really future-proof paranoid, you're going to have to sit on your hands until the end of the year when HomePlugAV units start showing up in quantity. µ Netgear delivers 85 Mbps over power lines

Unless you plan on transfering large video files from one PC to another I can't imagine why WIFI 54mbs wouldn't be enough for anyone.
Your highspeed internet is still under 10mbs.

802.11g wifi setups are cheap these days compared to powerline networking.
