If its gonna cost you an uncomfortable amount, its not worth it because anything you can't live without is available in wireless. I'm pretty gadget-minded and I still haven't used the data points in my house outside of my study. Nor has anyone else I know that went through the trouble doing data cables. If its a single story, you can run anything you want afterwards with a bit of messing around, if its a double story, extra power points is a biggest priority.

Honestly, this is not very good advice at all and ill explain why. The mainstream Wireless Networking Technology to this stage is only compatible to hold one High Definition stream (1080i) and i wouldnt really be wanting to do this around corners or double brick walls. As australia moves to digital technology in the home and TV's are now coming with built in hard drives and networking ablity giving you the advantage of streaming your content to your TV from your computer, tablet, and or phone it is really absolutely imperative that you run the cable for this technology as its only going to really devalue your house as the public becomes more aware. There is a reason the government is rolling out the NBN and phasing out analogue TV. Also the amount of bandwith you can shovel through network cable compared to wireless is really incomparable. Im going to be blunt with this sheepdog obviously you haven't lived in a solid brick home or a reasonably sized home in general.

Yikes, assumptions or maybe just a dig? [Edit: Removed some personal information, suffice to say, I've lived in large homes with and without cabling.] Put simply, the only thing you can't do over wireless is transfer blu-ray quality video and most people don't bother because MOST people don't rip their blu-rays due to the huge amount of storage (and time) they require in lossless format. In my experience, people who stream are generally streaming dvd rips, dowloaded tv shows, foxtel or FTA and they aren't in anywhere near the quality that would require cabling. Cabling by a professional is expensive pretty much, its great if you think its worth it but if you're building a home, you know how expensive it gets and realisitically, its not nearly as useful as most other things. Also, fibre to the home does not imply that each terminal in your house will be a data point, its specifically designed to be retrofit to co-ax which is why it terminates into co-ax. But like I said, study and TV points might be the exception for data but even then, all mid-range+ Samsung TVs (as an example) that are currently being released in 2011 (being released this month) have built in wireless. And that is absolutely fine for streaming most available content. Lack of data cabling will never devalue a house and its nonsense to say it would. Put simply, for every person who cabled for data and is using it, I can show you 10 who have cabled and don't use it. And thousands who didn't bother at all.

Pugs has a good point with running conduit if you're stretched on budget as thats handy for lots of things in general. My point was simply to not feel you *need* to add this stuff straight off because as you know, the cost of building goes up very quickly and some things are more important - like having enough power points. Did you end up getting any more info on what the builder is charging you and why regarding your velocity/power package? Re: Yer i know,another "Girlie Question" please help/explain 19Apr 14, 2011 12:50 pm Hi ya,nope,i sent off quite afew questions to him but got an auto reply that he was out off the office for the end of the week (well i hope he is out & not hiding from me OH GOD HERE SHE IS AGAIN ) So i have to wait it seems. We wont to have bits done so we can have a fab TV/THER rm,add a Video Alarm & poss music through the house later. Our build/block will be costing approx $700.000 at the end & we refuse to go over,when our other house sells(fingers crossed) we will have some extra cash in hand to spend,so its important we stick to our plan. If the basic's are there so we can add to later we will be happy My man is into gadgets,knows all most nothing except that he likes them,give him a car in bits & he will rebuilt it beautifully ,wires blah blah NOPE Thanks Block bought 1st RBC X! 2nd Ventrua,Keeper!

Hah, I know its stupidly off topic but I didn't really factor it in and its a bit of a kick in the *cough ahem* after the build Well good luck with everything and be sure to keep us posted with how it goes for any other velocity people out there Thanks.
