Agreed. Fiber is dirt cheap on Ebay. NOS. Media converters for less than
$100 each

I have a special job to do.
I need to connect 4 sites together in a line and provide Ethernet
connectivity between them. I may NOT use wireless to do this.
I can run overhead cable of most any type I need to. Coax, cat3 or
cat5, or even fiber if the price is right...
Site 1 to site 2 is 700 ft. Site 2 to site 3 is 900 ft. Site 3 to
site 4 is 2400 ft.
I would HIGHLY recommend fiber for this. I am assuming these are
different buildings. If they are, and they are on their own electric
meters, then grounding alone would make me want use fiber instead of
copper. There are some solutions out there that will use the copper
lines, but I'd still go with fiber. Cost difference is likely to be
minimal and by the time you save $$ on the ethernet extenders (SDSL type
devices), you may come out at nearly the same cost with more bandwidth
to boot.
