I'll second the powerline option. Haven't tried it myself but a friend has and works brilliant.
I (living in Germany now) have a 32M cable internet connection. I was connected over wireless due to inconveniently located cable modem, but recently got off my read-end and wired a cable through the wall. My average download speed more than doubled (from 1.5MB/s to 3.3MB/s). Wireless is great, but if you can avoid it, then definitely do so!
