Charles has a fascinating piece in today’s Technology section on a mains networking system called Solwise. The cheap devices essentially turn your electric circuits at home into an Ethernet network, painlessly. I never knew this stuff existed, but it looks like just the solution for networking up Tosh Towers which - despite its jauntily sloping walls and floors - appears to be solidly-enough built not to allow wifi waves to pass through happily from one end to the other.

I looked at this type of solution some while ago, but there were problems with the corruption rate of the data packets caused by ?current? interference. Put me off at the time and I went wireless with the router stuck in the middle of the house.

If it helps you to circumvent the lifespan-challenging carnival of pain that installing BT’s Home Hub involves, then more wireless power to your elbow.
