Great for her (really). First - what else was on the network at that time? What resolution and frame rate was the movie on? Remember that HDTV is practically here with DVD-quality visual and CD-quality audio or even better than these. Second - just to remind you where I startted this discussion - I was recommanding to invest in better cables than the standard grade for today's LAN's because it's going to be a bitch to replace cables in a few years for the better grade and I expect (though can't give concrete numbers) that the savings won't worth the trouble. I haven't suggested that someone will need a Gbit switch at home *today*.
