But if, like me, you have a laptop, then you can’t beat wireless for ease of use all over the house. So I guess I’m just going to get my brain fried. Actually, this probably explains why I’m slightly crazy! Well a hard wired connection will be faster and more reliable for sure.

I have to say, since I watched the programme my house has got wirless free. I've managed to but to ethernet hubs on ebay for pennies (one cost me just £4 including postage, I had already wired my house up with ethent cables some months ago under the laminate florring and under the stair carpet (even though my wife said there was no point since we were wireless), but I have now seen some benefit for all my hard work. The reason for this is mainly that the wireless modem would have been about 8 feet below my yet to be born baby's cot and I didn't want to take any risks. the benefits for me is though that I now never have a dropped connection and the internet seems much quicker.
