A gentleman from America was explaining how he had run 4 cables to each
place he was likely to have a TV.

This could easily be 4 sites here plus the PC in the office. Do I really
need 18 separate cables?

As I think you are aware by now, the answer is no but it is always worth
leaving a nylon draw rope in place alongside the cables to make it easier to
pull in more at a later stage.

Here's one very good reason for always pulling in two together (ignoring the
possibility for splitting a single feed as has already been discussed).

I tend to use my laptop downstairs whereas my wife has hers on a small desk
in the bedroom. There is also a desktop in the spare bedroom but the incoming
feed and modem are downstairs.

We have two laser printers - a full duplex mono which I use mainly and a
colour machine my wife uses for most of her stuff.

The mono printer is downstairs near me and the colour printer is beside the
desktop in the spare bedroom (because of space limitations on my wife's desk)
but close by.

Thus we both have the printer we most want to use close at hand but, as they
are both networked, of course, we both have access to both printers as
required.
