My entire home is wired for 100MB connections (category 5 wiring).

Being in the business, it was easy for me but the average person will find it not only expensive, but nearly impossible to achieve due to lack of access, construction methods ect.

Wireless offers solutions for some, but paranoids like myself will never feel comfortable with it.

On the plus side, it is sure nice to be able to move files from PC to PC with the only limit being the access speed of the respective hard drives!

Cheers,

I've been running wireless for almost 2 years with no problems.

Oh yeah, and in my area, wireless is cheaper than cable. (faster, too.)

That is mb (Mbits), not MB (Mbytes, 8 bits makes 1 byte).

Yea, Ethernet 10/100 wiring, standard network protocals for most home and business in-house computer networks.

If you can get 100mb to the home and businesses, the in-house protocals should be able to handle.

Lets just hope that the RIAA and MPAA don't kill it first.
