How does the builder know where I am going to put my one or multiple TVs? Or if I even have a TV - plenty of people went mobile-only for video. Old coax cable came out in the middle of the wall in the room I decided to use for home office, what was I going to do with it there? Finally I just cut it out and drilled a whole through a floor in another room to run Sonic fiber cable and connect a modem and WiFi router inside a cabinet shelf. If I was renting, I would rather just have good WiFi signal int the apartment like I do at work or in the hotel and organize my limited space for my convenience rather than based on where cables run.
- toast0 4y agoA lot of rooms have an obvious layout... You put the TV in the living room on the wall without windows. Or above the fireplace (ugh, but that's where people put them) If you put a tv in a bedroom, it's opposite the bed, and there's often a clear place for a bed --- if the windows are bed width apart, the bed goes there, if they're closer together, the bed goes on a different wall that probably doesn't have the closet and maybe doesn't have the door. You can run multiple cables to a room too, of course. Pick two spots and you'll probably get close enough so one is useful. And put a drop in the ceiling too, in case you want to mount an access point there, like at work or in some hotels. If nobody ever uses those cables, and you didn't terminate them, you're only out $100 on materials and an hour or two of someone's time. Hotel wifi has always been pretty bad for me, not a standard I'd want to aspire to.
