I thought we were talking about distributing Internet access throughout a
home. In that case, what crosses the property line is certainly irrelevant.
It's unlikely that you get Internet access via 'critters'.

Of course it does. You can distribute your Internet connection via WiFi, but
it won't likely be as fast or as reliable as non-wireless solutions.

Then by all means do that. That certainly wouldn't be acceptable for me, but
your needs and expectations are obviously different from mine.

Huh? Powerline adapters, HPNA phone adapters, and MOCA coax adapters all use
the existing wiring, assuming their respective wiring exists in the first
place. No changes to that wiring are required.

Why would you need to be a landlord to use any of them?

I didn't recommend powerline networking. I said that I used it extensively
and I thought it sucked. I'm currently using MOCA (media over coax) and it
doesn't suck, so that's what I'd recommend if I were to recommend something.

Fast isn't the only consideration. It's also nice to have reliable Internet
access wherever in the house that you need it, simultaneously and
seamlessly. If you can do that by carrying your Blackberry around, then
that's great.
