So... Drilling holes in the ceiling to run an ethernet cable to my office / gaming room. Anyone else done this? Or am I just mad?

Hope the bloody cable works at the end of it.

Is your office/gaming room upstairs? If so then go for it.

Yes, you mad person.

You need to open up the walls & make it totally invinsible.

Yep, find a way up through the walls.

Careful though. There was this movie where Evil MacGyver moved around in the walls.

BTW, there's a way to transmit LAN traffic via electric circuit of a house/flat by connecting adapters to power plugs.

If I live in a not very recent British flat (my guess is that it was built 30-50 years ago), should  I risk it, or it is going to burn the whole building down?

Can one ever trust British electrical wiring?

Can't you use the outdoor plumbing?

That's a way too old joke, Nucular Boy.

And yet here we are, with it still being a thing in the UK.

Not going to burn anything but it might not be very fast if your old wireing has too much noise.

My friend has a ~20 year old house & it works fine for him. I have a 45 years old one & I decided to run cat5e instead.

I've had the same dilemma, and turns out I could solve it without routing the network cables or using power adapters.  My cable modem is in my living room, but my office is in my bedroom.  My bedroom also had a cable outlet, so I ordered a network adapter from Fios, plugged it in, and it serves as a second cable modem.

my office is in my bedroom.

I've met women like you.

Our plugs are the one thing I'm a full-blown nationalist over (that, and, depending on the mood - kettles).

Not much honey in that pot.
