No, I didn't expect it to speed up my PC more the opposite on my sons,
and I was planning to do what you said and plug his pc into the router
part of the spa2012.
I looked at the info of the adaptor on the broadbandstuff.co.uk site
and there is a review on the spa2012 which says it is not easy to set
up as it comes shipped with the USA/Austrailian format, has anyone else
had probs with this?

They all come with non-UK specific default configurations. However,
there is soooooooo much info here & places like <http://voxilla.com>
that it makes it no issue.
