<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">I was fortunate enough to buy a house from a developer when all that existed at the time of purchase was a sales office and a hectare or two of dirt. So I was able to do custom wiring. Requesting almost every room wired with RJ45 was so unusual it took me almost a full afternoon to explain it to the contractor. Then they brought in a commercial team that tried to sell me massively overpriced Ethernet switches. But I ended up happy with the result, though I have no idea if it will affect the house's resale value.

I wouldn't trust an electrician to do it, unless they have Ethernet
experience. My Ethernet wiring was done by Rogers, when I first got
a cable modem, in the late 90s. They did a nice job, including
fishing through walls, etc.. I provided the plain CAT5, as 5e
wasn't common back then.<br>

<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap="">Gret for you but did they use cat 5 or 5e wiring. Today you might need
cat 8 (6 and 7 seems to have been obsoleted - - - dunno).
I would have dragged in conduit then you would be very future proof -
- - with just cable runs you will have to redo every 20 odd years.

Gigabit was designed for plain CAT5, before 5e was available, so
that's all you need, unless you're going above 1 Gb. There's no
such thing as CAT7, according to IEEE specs. Even if there were, it
would be a waste of money.<br>
