 My house has 2 breaker boxes. As long as the powerline adapters were on
 the same breaker box, they were rock solid. Cable modem to BBS was rock
 solid, around 120 mbps. Cable modem to my office was dodgy, same thing
 - you'd need to reset them once a month or so, and I only got 40 mbps
 through them.
