You make assumptions and that is your downfall.

I have "been around" a long long time, and all I see are the same few people that post from the bottom of the pond at every opportunity.

It doesn't occur to you that maybe Adrian/Zyborg has a "need" to have people to discuss things with?

If you don't like his posts why do you read them? He has just as much right to post here as anyone else.

If you hang around here long enough you'll soon find that the moral high ground is a very tenuous position.

We live in a small village on the tourist trail and the council do not supply street sweepers. If someone drops litter, it aggravates everyone until one of the local residents picks it up and puts it in the bin. If you have been around as long as you boast you will realise that I have already made the same point directly to Adrian in regard to his posts being akin to litter in the eyes of a number of readers of this forum and he has accepted that it is a valid viewpoint. You will also note that in all of the posts I have made where Adrian and I have had differences of opinion I have never resorted to the insulting language of which you seem to be rather proud. Furthermore and even though Adrian and I have different points of view you will have seen that I have told him that I would gladly buy him a pint if I am ever in Hereford. I'm afraid I couldn't feel obliged to make the same offer to some other posters on the Forum.

The problem I used to have with powerline networking was mostly that (as far as I can find out) there's nothing governing the amount of crud that a piece of electrical equipment is allowed to dump back into the mains. Unlike electromagnetic interference for example. And some can dump a lot.

Back in the days of CFLs I had one bulb that would reduce powerline signalling to a crawl throughout the house... other nominally identical ones were OK . Most brush-type electric motors caused varying degrees of problem, but none as bad as that CFL. (I found that using it in a table lamp through a filtered extension lead made it acceptable and saved me throwing away a lamp that otherwise worked perfectly well!)

But I haven't used powerline for at least 7 or 8 years, so their noise rejection capabilities may have improved.

I had some years ago, they were ok for what they were used for and considering I was still on ADSL then it made no difference, I gave them away when I got the ones I have now they are TP-link TL-PA4010, I never really got on with them, I thought maybe things have improved now. Toi get something at the speed I need, the price is around £70. I think I will stick with the cable.
