MoCA itself was an upgraded solution from networking over phonelines (HPNA) which maxed out at 10 mbps and the phone cables were not insulated and were subject to interference (from high energy usage, or phone calls). Coax cable is insulated.
HPNA has also evolved into a coaxial cable product that DirecTV utilizes. HPNA and MoCA operate on different frequencies. If you just use the wiring in your house for networking, get whatever you want. But if you using the wiring for DirecTV you have to get HPNA, whereas if you have FiOS or Cable TV, you have to get MoCA. HPNA will interfere with cable TV; MoCA will interfere with DirecTV.
MoCA 1.0 speed is 100 Mbps
MoCA 1.1 is 175, although at the time the RJ45 port was still 10/100, so it is still technically 100.
MoCA 2.0 is 500 Mbps
MoCA 2.0 bonded is 1 Gbps
MoCA 2.5 is 2.5 Gbps, but again, without the proper ports, hubs, wiring, you are going to max out at whatever the lowest speed is.
Everything is backwards compatible, but the connection will utilize the lowest speed.

Before I moved to current house, my last one needed one of these to bridge the first and 2nd floors...I used MoCA bonded 2.0 at the time.
Really don't know... spend the $60-90 now for 2-3 adapters... in the chance I'll need it in the future, but might end up not needing it..
Or pass on this and spend $120-180 in the future, if I don't buy now and end up needing it.

$30 is super cheap, but they will eventually come down in price. Hell, you really only need bonded 2.0 if that ends up being the super cheap option down the road, the way MoCA 1.1 became the super cheap option.
