I'm looking for a gigabit switch in my room to hopefully get rid of the bottleneck of data from the powerline adapters and my pc/other pcs (the cisco 10/100 switch - handy for lanning but cr*p for file transfer)

So i'm looking at gigabit switches, managed to be honest - any difference in brands? I was looking at the usual culprits - netgear, dlink etc.

I use this one :

Netgear GS608 8 Port Gigabit Platinum Switch (£49.99inc. vat)

But there is a 5 port version : http://www.ebuyer.com/product/64190 (£34.98inc. vat)

Same here, I use an 8 port ProCurve on my network.

I hear HPs process data faster than Cisco switches.
