Just had a rummage, and these are the things:
http://corinex.com/product/16.html but they don't have a brand name on
them.  They work on any mains supply voltage without adjustment.  They
have a label on the underside that suggests that they are capable of 64
Mbps, but I find that they are considerably quicker than that.

I tried Belkin and Netgear ones before, and they were appalling compared
to these.  I saw the Corinex ones in use in Hong Kong, and decided to
get some for myself whilst there as they were very cheap ($55 US for a
pair at the time). 

The carrier signal level stuffed down the mains is probably more than is
entirely legal, but it guarantees a good, solid signal that appears
impervious to sources of interference.

Regards

Chris
