HomePlug AV2

Would any of you be able to provide me some information on HomePlug AV2?

I have been searching the internet for more information on this technology and not really finding what I want to know.

I believe that this technology, developed by Broadcom, can potentially reach gigabit speeds (1500Mbps), is this correct?

If so I cant seem to find homeplugs anywhere that are more than 500/600Mbps.

Can we expect faster units in the near future, as I will be looking to use this technology with the NAS I intend to buy.

Read a lot of that literature already, doesn't really help in that there is no time frame for any of the AV1500 devices to hit the market.

I guess I shall wait and see what CES brings on the 7th January.

I think those sorts of speeds would likely be very, very optimistic even under the most ideal conditions possible.

Yeah I am a little sceptical myself.

Only thing I would say is what would be the point of releasing a technology that will be no improvement over what currently is on offer due to electrical wire limitations?
