We have BT fibre in the office, Petal. My iPad connects wirelessly. My PC is in an upstairs bedroom and used to get broadband through a cable in a socket there, but when we got the new BT thingy, OH never got round to connecting up the rest of the house. The stone walls and other issues means wifi won't reach most of the house. He will get round to it. Eventually, Maybe. It works where he needs it lol.

We had the same problem when we bought my son a new computer and he wanted it in his bedroom.

He uploads ginormous files to YouTube and Flickr and I knew that wifi wouldn't cut it but I didn't know of any other way to connect him to the internet without having cables laying around all over the house.

Talk Talk recommended using Powerline Adapters:

I was a bit sceptical that they would work but amazingly they work perfectly and they are so easy to use - you literally just plug them in.

If you're short of plug sockets in your house though, it's best to buy the ones that double up as normal plug sockets aswell. Unfortunately we didn't this time but will know next time if and when they need replacing.
