I'd like to know that as well, i'm going to need one once my sisters pc is sorted out. I seem to remember reading though that theyre not much good if more than three metres long.
Mine is running through a phone exstension that i installed, seems to work well, would probably work better if i was nearer the line but it's ok.
If you mean the PS2 is upstairs and the pc downstairs you've got a problem, only thing i can suggest is a wireless eternet router.

First thing you have to do is plug it in then set up the connection using the startup disk and that'll take some time unless you have a USB keyboard. Once it's set up you dont need to do it again and can just put the disks in and play.

The coolest ISP ever!
In my opinion, the ISP is the best I have ever used. They guarantee 'first time connection - everytime', which they have never let me down on.
10/10
Over the years I've become very jaded after many bad experiences with customer services, you have bucked the trend. Polite and efficient from the Freeola team, well done to all involved.
