Default Is Cabling up for Networking or Phone Systems Still Justified?

TheScullster pretended :
Hi all


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?


I have wired up the entire house for both too, but it is only useful
for those things which permanently reside at fixed places. CAT5 is
obviously faster than wireless, but that is only of use when large
files need to be moved between system in a hurry.
