Explanation

Broadband over Powerline (BPL) delivers Internet access through a building's existing electrical wiring. The user can plug a BPL adapter into any standard electrical outlet in any room and get Internet connectivity without running new network cable. This is the most economical solution because no new infrastructure (fiber or Ethernet cable runs) is required. CAT5 and CAT6 would require physically running new cables to each room, which is costly and labor-intensive. Fiber optic is even more expensive and complex to install in a residential setting.
