But isn't ethernet way faster than your internet connection, which is your true bottleneck? Unless you're gonna do heaps of local movie streaming or something?

- bryanlarsen 16y agoIn 20 years time, 10 Gigabit ethernet is going to be slow. Maybe he'll want to stream holographic projections or something and he can't do it because his wires only support gigabit ethernet. That's the problem with house remodelling: predicting the future. That's why you always overbuild while you have the drywall off and laying cable is relatively cheap.
- varjag 16y agoImagine someone putting coaxial for lightning-fast 10Mbit back in the 90s. It might have seemed an overkill back then.. Anyway, if you stream from a local server (e.g. a NAS in the basement), it might totally make sense even today.
