I went the whole hog and whilst I don't regret it because its there, I haven't used any of the points outside the study and TV areas.
few years time when the nbn is in full swing and they bring out washing machines and dryers and they need to be "online" tpo get the cheapest power for your load at 2am in the morning
I'm a big fan of wired vs wireless, but surely.. wireless would be most appropriate? Especially for the 99% of houses in the country which were built pre NBN?
I have 46 ports in my current house and will have close to 60 in my next one, but neither have outlets in the bathrooms or laundry.
(Note I'm only referring to in-home wireless, (wifi back to the router), the part outside the house should definitely be fibre optic! But that's a different discussion!)
