RE: [SPAM] X10 and Ethernet over power

["Phil Harris" <phil@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

To be honest you *DON'T* have a choice ...

... these Ethernet over power things are very much like wireless networking
in the way they handle throughput in that whatever speed units you get
you'll get about a third of their rated speed in real world data
throughput=
.

If you want to stream video then to have any success you'll *HAVE* to go
fo=
r
the 200mbits ones - I use the proper Devolo AV's, they're a bit more
expensive than the other makes but they seem solid enough.

I haven't tried the cheapest units but I did try the NetGear ones and
didn'=
t
have much luck with them (could well have been a fauly set though as they
were "Pre-Owned" at PC World and hence had been reduced - it's
possible
someone had bought them, found them faulty and had taken them back.
