RE: Ethernet and phone line trough mains - someone test it?

["Timothy Morris" <timothy.morris@xxxxxxx>]

802.11 works in my house and that is typical block and brick
construction. In fact the house that we surveyed Mark was built in
1934,
and ALL the internal walls are brick rather than stud, and the network
works across 3 floors and 30 metres with only the odd blackspot.
