HomePNA networks use existing home telephone wires to send information between computers.
Speed
HomePNA 2.0 transfers data at up to 10 Mbps. HomePNA 3.0 transfers data at up to 128 Mbps.
For example, downloading a 10 megabyte (MB) photo from the Internet under optimal conditions can take about 8 seconds on a HomePNA 2.0 network and about 1 second on a HomePNA 3.0 network.
Pros
HomePNA uses the existing telephone wiring in your home.
You don't need hubs or switches to connect more than two computers in a HomePNA network.
Cons
You need a phone jack in each room where you want to have a computer, and all jacks must be on the same phone line.
