Same here. I have my home network connected with cat-5E (only a little more costly than cat-5 when I bought it, and it runs 100Mbps just fine -- even over the 40 ft to my son's room.

If you have a lot of cables or have anything which is sensitive to radio emissions close by, Cat 6 starts making sense. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGZ8rDasN0sSnLmgIRAnuYAJ9icYWPE6PNTCgUnUh9It+RtZBr+gCfRalU UD+EGY9vqOn2SHlaopuq1Ag= =AXv8 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
