In the US, most houses are wired with 240V split-phase giving 120V to a mains outlet. It's a 50/50 crapshot if you are on the same leg in a different part of the house. I don't know if some electricians like to put all the mains outlets on the same leg or not. I don't know if these ethernet over power things will work over different legs. The legs share a neutral and ground, so maybe! I'd be interested to know! Similarrly, over 3-phase, I would suspect the same is true, 3 different legs around the property with a common neutral and common ground.
