Possibly. To be fair I don't know what actual frequencies powerline networking equipment uses, Wikipedia suggests something in the two-digit Mhz range. With that in mind, ADSL and Ethernet both use unshielded cabling and frequencies of 0-17, 30, or 100Mhz at incredible densities over large distances including overhead wiring, so how much of a problem can it really be? Sure, AC mains wiring isn't twisted pair, but again, the signal doesn't go much further outside the house whereas xDSL does.
