Re: why don't they?

said by avd706 See Profile :

I don't understand what they don't pull Cat5e or cat6 from a switchbox in the basement (or each floor) to each apartment.
If they are going to pull cable why not pull fiber and be ready for the next 10,20,30+ years? Sure cat6 can do gigabit but it as a 100m distance limit which you would easily run into in some of these buildings.

If your going to do it you should do it right, and do it right the first time. It will be better for everyone this way.

Re: why don't they?

Precisely. The logistics are the same either way, and last I checked, laser light doesn't travel well over copper. Gigabit Ethernet is dialup compared to what that little fiber can do.
