USB mains sockets for home networking.

Hi folks, I have seen these mains adapters for Ethernet networks in the home but they are a bit expensive in my opinion. I was wondering... I have mains sockets with 2 x USB sockets, could the USB's be used to carry data around the home? I would run a USB cable from my router into the USB mains, the copper wires carry the data around my home and I would use the USB's on the other sockets to connect devices in other rooms. Would this work? Ethernet adapters with pass through are around £30 - £40 each whereas a new mains socket is £10 each.
