Just to tell you a story that I experienced a few years back. I had two users in the same office running cat 5 at 100mb speed on identical machines. One user was complaining that his network performance was slow at times. I ran bandwidth tests on both machines. The good machine ran at constantly at 88 mb throughout put. The problem machine would vary from 18 mb to 85 mb though output. We traced the problem and found the wire that was ran over a florescent light in the bath room. The bathroom light was on a motion sensor. So every time someone went to the bathroom he would have bandwidth problems. Dan Goldberg

Interference decreases exponentially with distance. 1 ft away is 4 times as goo as 6 inches. 2 ft away is 8 times better, etc.
