Adapters cost here about £30 at each end for a single ethernet port, or £70 for an extension with three ethernet ports and seven power sockets. That's a lot less expensive than any quote I've had for running equivalent concealed cables within the walls and floors round this place. Terminating anything (other than an occasional salmon, or perhaps the odd pigeon in the park) holds no appeal for me.
Whether they're fast enough for video I don't know, but I've found that the latest flavour - the 200Mb variety of which I've quoted the price - are certainly fast enough for full res uncompressed music without problems of any sort to and from multiple Squeezeboxes, which is my only concern.
