To Alexander (the original poster) - "Let's make it interesting", shell we? :) Check the price difference between Cat-5 and Cat-6 cables - and I promise to pay you this difference (adjusted to the CPI) if in October 2010 you won't be able to get the necessary Gbit switch required to make Cat-6 cables useful in the same price as an equivalent 100Mbit switch is today, in Israel.

This question kept poping up in my mind during this discussion but the question was about cabling - taking advantage of prepared tunnels in the house. Investment in cables won't prevent him from using wireless LAN later if he so desires. >From what I read on technical forums, wireless LAN is a feasable solution (especially with the proprietary 54x2 bit/sec extension offered by some companies) but still flaky compared to "wire-full" LAN.
