Interesting but there is nothing to stop anyone using these, and sometimes they are necessary.

Sorry i don't agree they are necessary. There is always a way be it a bit awkward. As I said what would you so if they did not exist?

Ofcom have in fact dealt with several hundred complaints of interference in particular with Comtrend types supplied by BT who were asked to remove them.
 
Everyone to their own opinions. I like the Powerline Adapters.
If they did not exist then I wouldn't like them...
I would either scrap the idea of extending the coms or have to have the cable fitted.
 
Used to use the mouse all the time when cables were run in cavities a few years ago. Bit of string with a small chain in it, drill a hole at the top, drop it in and fish it out another hole below. Used to be quite exciting hearing it dropping down inside the wall and fishing it out.

exciting till it gets half way down the first wall and hits mr dwang, i like working in older homes where it does just go right from the loft all the way to the bottom floor
 
Dont like the powerline option! People should always wire in a hardwired data system now when doing major renovating/rewiring/new build. I dont see a problem running the cat5e down the cavaties
 
When fishing out the weight and chain in a cavity or void use some rare earth magnets. Dont buy the gecko tool for 40 quid. Buy a dozen washer style earth magnets and attach them to a old plastering trowel. Works a treat to move things along to the hole!
