What reviewers have said so far
The Power Ethernet Sockets have been installed and tested by a varierty of magazines, technical jounals, newspapers as well as by customers. Here is a selection of their experiences:
Pocket-lint
Stuart Miles of Pocket-Lint: "If you are looking to get a wired connection to devices such as your new YouView box or your Xbox 360, and want more than one Ethernet connection via your plug socket this is worth considering." Read more...
Recombu
Alex Lane at Recombu Reviews: "Power Ethernet’s T1000 is the first in a range designed to make powerline networking more flexible and elegant."
I’ve seen several reviews criticising the PE T1000’s cost compared to single-socket Ethernet adapters costing £40. This compares more closely to adapters with multiple Ethernet ports that are likely to cost around £100 and are a lot less elegant. Read more...
PC Advisor
Jim Martin from PC Advisor said "We’ve seen a lot of powerline networking adapters, but nothing quite like Power Ethernet’s T1000. This new British company aims to make powerline networking a lot more socially acceptable by ridding sockets of the unsightly ‘wall warts’ you'd traditionally associate with HomePlugs" Read more...
The Telegraph (4/5)
Matt Warman at The Telegraph gave the PE Sockets 4 out of 5. “Even the most peculiar geek would struggle to find a power socket remotely alluring. And yet – who would have thought it? – there is much to get excited about in the products of British start-up Power Ethernet.” Read more...
PC Pro Real World Computing
Paul Ockenden from PC PRO World Computing said: “In use, I’ve found Power
Ethernet devices to be rock-solid. With other brands of HomePlug device I’ve
found myself having to reset them from time to time as they lock up, but I’ve
had no such trouble with these devices.” Read more...
AV Forums Review
Stephen Withers from AV Forums review the PE Sockets “ We were
genuinely impressed with both the professional look of the Power Ethernet
sockets and their ability to create a highly effective network in my cottage.
Not only were the sockets easy to install but the results
were excellent and provide a genuine alternative to our WiFi which, due to the
thickness of the walls, can be a bit touch and go at times.”
Home Cinema Choice (5/5)
Steve May at Home Cinema Choice gave the PE Sockets 5 out of 5.
"the PE socket reviewed here is the most sophisticated example we've yet seen of this [Powerline] technology"
Trusted Reviews (8/10)
Benny Har-Even for Trusted Reviews gives PE Sockets 8 out of 10.
"The Power Ethernet Socket T1000 is a
great idea integrating power and Ethernet into a double-plug sized socket,
enabling a property to be networked up quickly and elegantly.”
