In the Netherlands there have been try-out for enabling internet across the (main) power lines. The test hasn't been successful, and AFAIK the project is cancelled. The reason for this was that the reliability was rather poor. And I don't mean the reliability of our power network, just the internet across it.
You can purchase so called "dLAN" adapters, which channels your network across your inhouse power system.
In the Netherlands that is pretty secure as we have filters between the actual powergrid and the inhouse power network. These filters filter out any signal above I think 100Hz. Not entirely sure about the frequency though. Anyway, these adapters use frequencies of 1000+hz at the very least.

Ya when I first read about this I thought it was pretty stupid and risky.
