The power network operates at 50Hz (and 175Hz for ripple control in Christchurch). Ethernet over power would work well into the MHz. Interference there could come from many sources - electric motors (fridge!) and switch mode supplies being the top ones. None of that has to do with bad power wiring or old switchboards. One exception I can think of: bad connections may conceivably cause small arcing, which creates radio interference. You have bigger problems than Internet in that case: the connection heats up and there is a fire risk. If you notice a socket getting warm, investigate.
