Just a general enquiry really.
Noticed on posts for data/sky/tv cabling that people were still advocating
installation of network and phone cabling.
This is obviously at odds to the current hype wireless
networking/broadband etc.
I have already installed cat 5 and phone lines to most rooms, but am
beginning to think that technology has overtaken this.

Apart from the security issues with wireless broadband, can anyone support
the case for putting in a wired home network and phone system?

Wired phone system, no. But there are no end of niggles with wireless
networking, it seems to me. Handy to have, but nowhere near as
reliable as TP, ime.


I second that, especially concerning Belkin wireless kit.
