[QUOTE="Klathman, post: 196857, member: 53773"] My house is all set up for 1Gb networks (well except for the crappy ADSL router but then that only gets used for Internet access anyway) and I'd definitely be pushing 100Mb speeds every so often. It's at the point now that if you shop around there's stuff all difference between 100Mb and 1Gb equipment. Anyway it wasn't that long ago that 100Mb was all you needed anywhere so why not be prepared for 10Gb. As far as I'm aware 10GbE will work on Cat6 up to 100m so I should be good to go if I even need to go that way. Oh and to use but alter your numbers a bit. 7MB = 56Mb which is getting pretty close to the practical maximum of a 100Mb network. So you might be able to watch your HD movie across the network but your TV show @ say 6-12Mb/s recording across the network to your server might be getting a bit strangled for bandwidth. And don't even try downloading that show on your ADSL2 connection at 10Mb/s at the same time or you'll be in choppy hell. [/QUOTE]
