Happy

for 50 quid 6 months ago, I got 2 such plugs claiming 85 Mbps. I now have a lovely flexible network backbone, with wireless 54g segment at each end of the house.

So has my mom.

The IEEE are in great danger of invalidating their existence as far as networking is concerned with this kiind of pointless procastination

A lesson for ISO!

IEEE may be a slow standards body, but at least they stay within their own rules, and behave with propriety. More than can be said for ISO and the recent OOXML scandal.

I threw wireless out a couple of years ago and have used ethernet over mains for all my network needs. It don't do 85 Mbps but has no problems playing movies etc from the server. Standards should not be decided by commercial interests but be agreed internationally.
