Electricians advice sought - or competent person.

As some of you know our house was completely rewired after the house fire with some changes to the ring mains layout - Kitchen is completely separate to rest of house for instance. I have had some issues on the ground floor when using my BT Mini Connectors that use Ethernet over Mains protocols.

I have a sneaky feeling that it could be the case that perhaps some of the wiring to the house 13 amp sockets might not be 100% - this would explain why a BT Mini Connector works better in one side of a double socket than the other - it could be the brand of socket perhaps?

Short of checking the tightness of the screws in every single wall socket is there an easier way to check it out ?

Is there an inexpensive testing tool that I could use?
