What do you mean, much less expensive? I'll agree that paying for labor to pull wires in existing construction is expensive, but the OP is talking about new construction, before the wallboard goes on. A 1000 foot roll of CAT5 is under $100, and even Cat6 is under $200. You do not need junctions boxes in the walls for low voltage stuff, you can just use mud rings. For new construction or serious remodeling, you can do a whole house for the cost of a few homeplugs. Its been a few years now, but I dragged 1600 feet of cat5 through my 20 year old house. It took a while, and I had to cut out a patch of drywall about a foot square in one wall to get the bundles from the basement to the attic (two story house). I also have Wifi, but real ethernet is very nice and tons more reliable. -- Pat Farrell http://www.pfarrell.com/ _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
