I used Diamonds HomeFree phoneline one for about 6 months. It was OK, I had the 1MB version and the speed was decent.
Only thing I didn't like was that for the unit to get an IP address, you have to have another computer turned on and using the Homefree. If there is no other computer running it, it will not link up and not get an IP.
All in all, it was a good product since most people have lots of phone jacks in there house.
