If you've got "work" going on now, including rewiring etc, I'd bite the
bullet and lay in enough ethernet cable (cat5e/cat6 your choice) to do
it properly, I know Brian and co dislike powerline for interference
reasons, but the real reason to avoid it, is that it's never as fast, or
as reliable.


Also as current practice moves away from ring mains to radial systems
(or at least smaller rings) with perhaps multiple RCBOs you may find
that performance becomes limited because the couls in the RCBOs filter
the signal...
