Hardly worth getting the 200Mbps at these prices.

BTW exactly the same happens if you try and buy from the BT Shop. Same system - same glitch.
Until they sort this mess out this should be expired as some people are going to be tricked into paying £5 over what they thought.

stick to the devolo 200av imo
I've recent bought a pair of Solwise AV 500s, if I hadn't I'd buy these straight away. I'm tempted to get a pair anyway since I need at least one more.

in real terms it usually won't make a difference

at peak speed of 200mbps from the link you provided, it does matter.
TP-Link 200Mbps & 500Mbps Homeplugs
Edimax 200Mbps Homeplugs
Just one. You can always get one of these: http://www.amazon.co.uk/TP-Link-Gigabit-Unmanaged-Desktop-TL-SG1005D/dp/B000N99BBC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1346248399&sr=8-1

at peak speed of 200mbps from the link you provided, it does matter.
The peak speed (at location A) at the link he provided is for two of the units plugged into the same extension strip! In the real world, gigabit gains you nothing with these devices
Real world is ~ 8MBytes a second peak.
I can get 10MBytes/sec out of 5GHz wide channel 2 x 2 N wireless. I'd expect that 3x3 5Ghz wide channels would give you ~13 MBytes a second, or perhaps slightly better.
2.4GHz will depend so much on interference levels it's effectively anybodies guess.
