I'm in an old terraced house and I had to run cable from the frontroom to my computer upstairs and to networked hard drive under the stairs. The solution wasRouter in frontroom ----> Through Outside Wall ----> Up Outside wall ---- > In through bedroom wallThen routed around the edge of the bedroom in the gap by under the skirting board. Then the cable goes straight down through a whole in the floor where there were already pipes going.It's neat and can't be seen inside the house and the cable isn't noticeable on the wall of the house, not amongst the TV aerial cables anyway.Much easier drilling straight through a wall, even easier when I just used the holes that were there already from an old Sky tv cable.
I was thinking about that... a mate of mine is a builder so will consult him first about the cavity thing

I got the d link one with pass through so you dont lose a plug socket either. Fantastic bit of kit to complement 50MB connection
But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.
