AIUI the minimum latency on these is always measured in milliseconds, with 6-7ms apparently commonplace, which you're going to immediately feel using e.g. a block or network storage protocol. No references, but did look at moca for exactly the same reason a few months back. The physical size of the models I looked at also suggested you'd want to check power consumption before stuffing a home full of them - custom devices in a small market segment often drink electric.

I'd much prefer a consistent <1ms latency 10 Mbit connection than 10ish ms gigabit with 100ms spikes when next door boils their kettle, etc.
