They may well be as fast as a slow or medium Internet connection, but
they are unlikely to be as fast as even WiFi,

I would argue that point, especially when you are using WiFi in a new
build with foil backed plasterboard etc.

let alone Gigabit ethernet
for local network transfers.

Yes, great, *if* you can get some cable in there. Many (many) people
can't or won't so then what?

They tested those at a RW 115Gb/s (FWIW).

And, of course, they are fundamentally
antisocial in causing widespread local interference at HF.

Do you have any information to support that assertion and that covers
all makes and models?

I wouldn't
use them for the same reason I wouldn't play loud music at 2 am or pour
oil down the drains. It's simply bad behaviour, even when legal.

Are we talking *all* PLA's or just bad / faulty ones?

Since they work by injecting HF signals into the public power network, I
should say all of them. Some notch amateur bands successully, but
amateur radio isn't the only thing on HF.
