    Hi,

    For about 5 months now i have put off getting a homeplug or new wireless dongle. I have a USB stick at the moment which i stick into my pc, however - it has VERY bad signal meaning it keeps disconnecting and somtimes it may take up to 10 minutes to reconnect.

    Another problem i have is in games i would just be walking forward normally, then it would freeze for a mili-second then id appear back 10 paces or so. Its very annoying.

    So my quesion is should i buy a homeplug or buy a wireless PCI card with a Hi-Gain Antenna? Ive heard homeplugs only work if your wiring is good, but i wouldnt know what our wiring is like. Ive also heard that they dont get the speeds that are advertised on the box. Would a PCI wireless card be better than a USB stick?

    I would love to get a wired connection but that is just not practical. Any opinions are greatly appricated, im looking to buy tommorow.

    Thanks, Ben.
