I changed to BT 500mbps & they rarely connected. Assumed it was a fault so returned them.
Is it possible my ancient wiring couldn't cope with anything over 200mbps or the higher the better?

I think that's very likely, yes.

Similar question ... I currently have a 500mbps powerline system - can I upgrade portions to 1000mbps and keep the 500 in some places, or do I have to upgrade all to 1000?
However it is worth noting that you will never get the stated 1000mbps transfer speeds. Straight off the bat you halve the speeds as network companies combine the two plugs speeds, so that's 500mbps max. In reality due to interference and other factors you will get 100-200mbps max and that's if your house has good cabling. Still, you should notice speed increases over slower rated models, and for this price it's a steal.
WARNING: powerline plugs have been stated to cause wireless interference, basically turning your house's cabling into a giant antenna. This can cause disruption with wireless, television and radio signals. More information can be found here: http://www.arrl.org/power-line-noise

I live in a four-flat block, my neighbours must LOVE me!
I'm using d-link (WPA8630 so similar from a 1000mbps perspective) with BT fibre.
I was struggling to connect additional sky q box on 4th floor with main box on ground floor - sky tried installing their own sky q wifi extenders on each floor and this was too messy.
I decided to Powerline instead and I get constant 200-300mbps data rate.
I know this is probably a supplier issue (Talk Talk) but I'll take a quick solution like this before my foot goes through the router...
Sounds pretty good really. I'm almost feeling "where's the catch" as TP-Link and other brand adapters are noticeably more expensive for their gigabit port adapters.
Chromecast doesn't have an ethernet port. So useless with these.
I'm really late to this party....... apologies but just in case someone else happens upon this.... Did you try the powerline function that's built into your two Sky Q boxes?
Do you have a link to instructions how to do this please. Thanks
