I'm really surprised that it was worth rewiring entire apartment buildings with Cat5 cable, when VoIP didn't exist. I mean, in the mid-90s the internet had barely been invented, people were happy dialling into Compuserve at 56K (or 64K in ISDN countries). It's totally surreal to hear you explain about 10Mbps speeds to an internet that barely existed (to Joe Bloggs).
I got that in my flat in Malmö, Sweden in 2000. All HSB flats were connected using 100Mbps ethernet, plug in the wall to an ethernet card, dhcp, done, surf. The houses were at that time connected using gigabit routers, I don't know what it's like today, since I moved away from there some time ago (and boy do I miss that connection :)
I guess those were new buildings?
My flat was built in the 30s, I believe. Very much not new. Anyway, as I said it was all HSB flats, and they are the largest condo company in Sweden. It was called "HSB bolina" and was a very ambitious project. Some friends of mine worked for one of the contractors who laid down the cabling, they were very busy at the time :) Anders -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
