Sure... well... not /yet/ anyway... Thing is, it's cheaper to upgrade the substations to allow IP traffic over power lines than it would to upgrade a BT exchange for ADSL - plus it does not require as many customers in the catchment area to actually warrant it. It seems to have initially been trialled in remote areas of Scotland, where ADSL simply isn't possible. They're trying it in a city now to see whether it catches on and if there is a market for it... I'm sure the results will be positive and that they'll increase the availability across the UK before long... just have to wait and see.
