Billion or Devolo homeplugs???

StevieP · 30 Jun 2009 at 15:20

I am about to go for some 200mbps homeplugs for a new house and I've narrowed it down to either the "Billion P104 BiPAC 2071 HomePlug AV 200 Wall Plug Starter Kit" or the "Devolo 1222 Homeplug AV dLAN 200 AV Starter Kit W/ AVeasy One-Touch Set-up - 1530"

The 2 kits are approx £20 different (the Billion ones being the more expensive) but I have no idea which are the better ones?

Anyone got any experience of these??

Thanks....

The Devolo plugs are supposed to be the best plugs available, so I am surprised they are the cheaper out of the 2.

I have 4 devolo AV plugs myself and find them excellent.

I appreciate the cutting-edge technology as much as the next man but a) I need them for this Friday, not mid August and b) there doesnt seem much point getting a gigabit connection when my network card is restricted to 100mb!!
