We were told Homeplugs would be a better solution, but reading this topic has confused me a bit - do the speeds we get through Homeplugs depend on the speed of our phone line? We get about 8MB/s download speed, but are thinking of getting 200 MB/s homeplugs and connecting it as follows:

PC -> Home Hub 1 via Ethernet
Home plug 1 -> Home Hub via Ethernet
Home plug 2 -> PS3 via Ethernet

Will this give us enough speed to stream HD perfectly?

Thanks a lot guys, really appreciate it!
Internet speeds have no effect but your home wiring may have a huge effect. Only way to be sure is to buy a pair you can return if they are no good or see if u can lend a pair from a friend.
