PL14 - 14Meg Homeplug adapter: 7.5Mb/s
PL85 - 85Meg Homeplug Turbo adapter: 25Mb/s
54g Wifi - 14Mb/s

Note the big difference in favour of the 85meg powerline network vs
wireless G.I would be interested to see a comparison with turbo G -
like my US Robotics 125mbps wireless connection.

You pay approx £27 in the UK for the old 14mbps units and £47 for the
faster model.

I'm sure wireless is fine for average Slimserver to SB activity -I use
a mixture of the technologies at home and with a SB2 and Slimpey, and
experience no problems piggy backing over both the wireless and
powerline network. 

Once you start introducing a SB in every room, and start whacking video
data down the network to/from your living room to record/watch tv etc.
it becomes a different matter and you may find the extra
bandwith/reliability useful of either a fully CAT5 wired or 85mbps
Powerline network.
