10/100 is not always fast enough if you are doing much streaming of
video content over a home network, it also can't keep pace with the data
serving rate from even a basic NAS box.


Agreed. The media PC on the TV here copes with the data coming from the
NAS over a powerline link, just. The powerline inter-adapter link is
180Mbps but the ethernet ports are 100Mbps. The media PC really needs
gig.

I'll have to run a cable, was hoping to be able to avoid it.

Lastly if you do need to move
bulk data (say a 5GB image of a DVD), then you really notice the
difference in transfer rate.


+1. makes a big difference to my daily backups.
