I did a bit of googling, and found a range of products...  Main concern at the 
moment is that the maximum transfer rate is around 14mbps so average transfer 
speed are probably more like 8-10mbps.  In fact, that's slower than my wireless 
right now.

Although it would seem that 85mbps adaptors are on their way, and should be 
available in the UK in a few weeks.

Max transfer rates of 85mbps is probably going to translate to about 50mbps 
average.  That's a bit more like it, and it faster than my wireless right now.  
I reckon I'll hold out for that.

My wireless is supposed to be up to 125mbps; Yeah, right.  Sigh.

I've just ordered an Acer Homeplug Ethernet Kit from Amazon - two 
adaptors for £42 delivered!

If they don't work, they're going back, but you can't complain at the price!
