In the uk im using 3 200mps homeplug AV powerline units.  One from the
router.  One to the combined FE/BE in lounge and one to the FE in the
bedroom.  SD & HD work fine no problems at all.  Throughput about 80 mbps

I think speed depends on distance between homeplugs, quality of your mains
line, interference etc.
