Would water pipes work as well? Also no electrical interference, but I don't know if the water inside poses a problem. It may act kind of like an inside-out co-ax, which I'm guessing isn't ideal for these frequencies.

But attaching electrical equipment to your water pipe is more comforting than to your gas pipe...

Fiber isn't the issue. This is about sending the signal through the gas pipeline itself. It isn't meant to be used for overall network traffic, just for the part from the nearest junction to a house. The so called "last mile".

Understood.
Someone a while back claimed to be able to do the same basic thing over electrical lines/service drops, etc.
