Second best would be a pair of homeplugs, one in the router and the other you take with you to wherever in the house you need the connection.

That should work in theory, but another user recently tried it and found very poor speeds, even though the powerlines themselves were capable of decent speeds in 'normal' use within the LAN.

I can't remember where the post was can can't find it again. There were various suggestions such as larger packets or a different pattern of packets; the LAN sees regular internet packets and the modem/router connection has them PPPoE encapsulated.

Yes that is correct and DLM is a pain but that doesn't answer my question.

I can't find anything that says, Ofcom requires isp's/wholesale, to use DLM on broadband lines.

I will complaint to ofcom and asked ofcom to tell BT to get rid of DLM. Because DLM is evil things to quickly reduced your sync rate and push interleaved on.

DLM is pure evil by BT.

I notice this thread is over 20 months old but as a matter of interest have you as an individual had any complaints upheld by Ofcom in the past?
