Yes, the pole transformer is fed with one of the universal three
phases. Easy to see on our street as only one phase is strung along
the tops of the poles. The transformer output is a centre-tapped
220v supply, so you get supplied with two live feeds 180° out of
phase with each other and the earthed centre-tap.

The live feeds come into the breaker box and run down two busbars,
on the left and the right. The switches are in two vertical rows
along the busbars. At the top are the double-pole switches that
connect dryers, AC compressors, etc to both busbars because they
need 220v. The single switches below them are only connected to the
busbar on their side, so anything switched on the left side is on
the other busbar from those on the right.

Our house is in two parts. The old part had power from a different
street, strung across the back garden. The new part has power from the
street. The old part's breaker box is now fed from the top switch
(a double) in the new house's box. So both boxes have access to the
left and right circuits.

I just took our "roving" fourth Powerline devices and a laptop (wifi
off) round both houses to rooms on each of the busbars. Every socket
outlet works, including GFCI ones. (As I mentioned earlier, I always
get the devices to exchange keys in the kitchen, where all the outlets
are GFCI protected.)

So I can find no evidence that the circuit matters. I can only suppose
that there are other factors causing problems reported by others.
For example, in our previous house there were sockets that had live
on the wrong pin. Other people might already have marginal performance
caused by mixing manufacturers. Every case is different.

Cheers,
David.
