Re: Reviews - Powerline networking - can it deliver?

I've been using some more expensive 250Mbps homeplugs (Devolo DLAN) for a good year now, they are FANTASTIC. Best networking item i have ever bought.

I also had/have that Zyxel router and it seems to have died (well the power adaptor has gone..) Although i havent bothered RMA'ing it to scan etc...

I achieve fast file transfers between my pc and my server (connected via homeplugs). Although i have found that using the homeplug in a room which has heavi power usage (such as my room - 4 pc's, tv, speakers etc) results in a slower performance that using a plug for instance in my spare room (only a singly pc drawing power in there).

And regarding the heat problem, i had this on some cheaper 80Mbps homeplugs from amazon (were fantastic too btw) but my Devolo's dont suffer from this problem (Just touched this moment... perhaps when they are hardstreaming data they become hot, but havent checked.)
