I used an ActionTec ECB2500*C *with 3 nodes.

  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!
