The fibre-optic network provides the high-bandwidth link to your local electricity distribution point. It is then injected into the power supply lines.
Technical hurdles to be overcome include getting signals around local transformers (which can be achieved by turning off the supply and sending a guy up each and every pole that carries one), and somehow keeping the signals in the wires and not radiating everywhere (which can be achieved by magic).
