Ethernet via Powerline has two different vectors for failure.....the physical interface and the electronic.
In a conventional ethernet network, the data streams are carried by a straight-forward path....the CAT 5 or CAT 6 ethernet cable. If the cable is well made, with proper connectors at each end, then the data path is normally not a contributing factor to variations in throughput.
With Powerline adapters at each end of the data path, we have introduced both an electronic variable in the adapter itself and a physical factor with the house wiring being used to complete the data path between Powerline adapters.
I would say that your observed throughput loss over ethernet can be directly tied to the Powerline adapters and house wiring.
