Yup, I've read about this standard as well but we want our tunes and programming from broadband in the livingroom, access to shared dsl or hopefully not cable but cang get dsl access, and other things. I think I read the phoneline devices don't work very well at all and think they operate very inconsistently. This Intel device seemed to be rated at about 2.5M and thought this to be respectible albeit I know we wouldn't see that rate consistently due to other factors. Could probably live with that. Amanda
