I used an ActionTec ECB2500*C *with 3 nodes.
http://www.actiontec.com/251.html
They work great at 100mbps. A no-brainer, except the house I put them
in was at the fringe of usable cable length so I couldn't get them to
work to the farthest room with an 8-way splitter, but a 4-way splitter
worked.
I spent lotsa hours trying to get a link light when it wouldda worked if
I just plugged them all in and waited. They elect a master and join it
so they were happier when all 3 were on the cable.
They've been cooking for several months with not one drop out.
The best price is from TiVo, depending on what tax & shipping costs you
(when I got them a pair was $89):

Don't forget to get a POA filter on your cable entry if you have live
cable TV. And there is different model for satellite TV. The C model is
for cable TV. S model for satellite.
On the Actiontec page you'll see they have combos with wireless, too.
I've also tried Ethernet-over-power with Zyxel Adapters. They work but
don't perfrom as well as MoCA, but hey! they're compatible with X-10!
