Re: cant be that expensive

I install wireless internet based on 802.11b, and I would be the first one to tell you thast wireless is worthless for streaming HD, packet loss when you turn on the microwave or your new Whirlpool HT Dryer or your 2.4ghz phone. At $.06/foot and $.23/connector I would run Cat 5 and be done with it. Even a traditional 100mb network would stress streaming 3 full HD streams. Let alone the 6 that would be required for my home, you better bring me a 1gbps connection if you want to deliver me HD over IP. I don't want that compressed crapo either, I would just watch SD if that were the case.

That's just it, in cases like with SBC, to fit HD streams under the 24Mbps roof they'll be all compressed anyway....

Not saying wireless is a good answer (I think coax and sat service already own the niche), but just an answer...

Fiber is the future.
