There are many factors that go into powerline adapter speed, but as a blanket statement I'd say this isn't accurate.
I have 35-year old power wiring which is sub-optimal for this, and I still get sustained throughputs of 150+Mb/s from MacBook WiFi->Airport Extreme->D-Link DHP-701AV (Powerline Adapter)->Modem/Hub->Media Server. That's about 2-3x faster than typical "real-world" speeds on straight 802.11n WiFi networks.
