Good deal but be aware that until such time as BT issue a firmware and software update the largest mesh with a single SSD that you can create is with 4 dishes (plenty for most people but good to know in case you want to knock in to next door as well)

SSID*
And its sad... because no firmware should hold back unlimited APs to sit on the same SSID.
just the nudge I needed to go for this - thanks OP.

How does this actually work - are the dishes all wireless themselves and does using them drop your overall download/upload speed?

No the idea is they are wireless repeaters/boosters so you will get better speeds with these in rooms further from the router than you would if you tried to connect directly through 3 walls. I guess there might be an impact on latency/ping so if you're planning on gaming with them I would read some reviews first.
They're supposed to be more plug and play and allow for continuous roaming throughout the house. Pretty good idea tbh I would probably buy them myself if I used WiFi often.

Since wireless is only half duplex (can be full at half the speed though...) the next repeater gets a **** deal. Going through multiple doesn't make it get worse after that though.
If you want reliable, you really do need to use wires from the APs, anything else is just throwing another **** solution to another.
Specially with all the 2.4ghz stuff around, and your neighbours etc, and people who use wireless when the router is right next to the Xbox etc etc. Wireless is overused, its about time we saw more structured cabling in our houses...

Is there a variant of this which supports a dedicated 100/1gig ethernet port?

Each disk has a single Gigabit Ethernet port
unquestioned

Google's alternative is £160 per single repeater.
These things are pretty awesome, I've dealt with then a few times and the biggest benefit of these over normal extenders is the seamless switching between units, isn't noticeable.

How do you power them? Is there a a powerbrick for each unit?

Yeah. Each one has a powerbrick. I got mine from the last offer, and they're great. Definitely worth buying, but maybe 2 was enough for my house rather than 3 as most devices connect to 2 of the 3 discs.
