5w in use is fine but only going down to 3.5 is not at all green. My PVR will standby on 1w or less and has much more to do. This thing will probably be in standby for 80% of time so these watts do add up. Also it is too expensive, and my plugs are near the floor. so.. am I Fooked with these long things?? 50% price cut please

It is 40% to 60% faster than some other thing, unspecified. That is not informative.

I understand the Inq has been looking for an editor... maybe it's time to get serious about that.

Your article shows a photo of another devolo adapter, not the one tested! :-)
The right product is this: http://www.devolo.com/consumer/70_dlan-200-avsmart_starter-kit_product-presentation_1.html?l=en

I agree with the previous poster, powerline adaptors rarely hit anywhere near the speed they quote so what is the speed of these in real terms.

C'mon, show us some numbers!
Compare it to some simple 100Mbit/s router, please.
