    Uh.... no, at £120 a pair, that's £60 each, right?

    Edit: no, it's not as clear as that. Some parts of the linked articles say $149 each, some parts say $149 for a pair. if it's $149 a pair, then, yes, apparently some disparity. Unless we're being charged for having to fit those crazy UK plug types.

    Was $150 for one for them so the price is likely to be £100+ each"

    A little more than I envisaged - UK getting the screw again.
    You guys make me laugh


    Are you guys seriously going to take a pc mag review that tests the plugs connected in the same socket back to back with a pc connected to a laptop to get 560Mbps then they test it again only a few sockets 20 feet away over a review by Tim Higgins that i posted who is a renown network Guru that even had the belkin engineers around to his place who could not get the plugs to work at anything above 200mbs even when the belkin engineer installed their own plug setup software when the plugs are used as people would really use them across the house. ?
