So if I have some heavy duty power users two to three hundred feet away, is it close enough for interference? No sunrooms in the place - the exterior of our whole house is 8 inch heavily insulated construction without unusual sizes or numbers of windows.
I've ordered the Linksys system for networking, because I have comcast and it seemed to be the choice on the local comcast networking chat board. My new computers should be showing up by my Gwfgwf, and I'm getting Networking for Dummies to help me out here. But dropping wires is still a possibility and wouldn't be that difficult.

I have lived in a few different multi-unit buildings where there are tons of "adopters" because we are all young, urban and hip and have not noticed a problem with speed. I may just be stooopid, but DSL seems awfully popular in large, densely populated areas for this to be a major concern in the large-minimum-lot-size burbs.
