said by Lazlow:Why not skip installing the slower connections (to the outer areas) and just install the faster ones to start with? Why install it twice?
For those that say home equipment cannot do GigE, think again. I do 10gb (in house) transfers every day at 100MB/s(limited by drive speeds). The drives (raid0) are several years old and I am sure if I replace them with faster (100MB/sec ea) drives I could go higher. My equipment is just a standard GigE switch and cat6 cable.
Because by the time they get ready to place the faster connections to the outter areas, something even faster will be developed and this same argument will once again be brought back to life.. At this rate, theres going to be a whole lotta people stranded with two options.. Dialup, and its life span is predicted to disappear sorta like how isdn has, and the ever so unpopular satellite internet... So, lets get to it!!
