We've just had a demo of Devolo's latest Homeplug AV kit (the stuff that uses your mains wiring as a network).

Using their test rig, which simulated typical signal noise in a home environment, Develo achieved an impressive 90Mbit/sec. This allowed for two HD streams (around 20Mbit/sec each) and a fair amount of data to be transferred at the same time.

Unlike rival Netgear's awkwardly designed HDX101 devices, Devolo's box doesn't plug directly into the wall socket so won't suffer from the same usability issues as mentioned in our review.

We'll be running our own separate tests in the coming days and will be posting a full review soon.
