Errrrrr - but will anyone be using cable (rather than wireless) in a few

why not go wireless now? It's cheap, easy and far more flexible!


Yes. Wireless is insecure, and somewhat more expensive, and somewhat
more prone to problems with metal in the walls etc.

Its also more limited on bandwidth.

If everybody used gigabit wirelss to connect up their home networks,
there would be horrendous problems with adjacent properties

No problem tho with wire or fiber.
