Yeah this kinda overlooks a lot of the issues with like… getting a cable somewhere
My house is relatively new (built 2005), and they pulled cat5 for all the telephone lines and just didn't hook up the extra pairs of wires. Since nobody uses landlines anymore, I rewired most of the outlets for RJ45.
Have pulled a few more wires, including fiber to my main office PC (so I can have a very fast connection to my NAS). Once you learn a few techniques and the way your building is laid out, it's not that hard.
$6.99/5' of cable. A weekend of manual labor running cable through my walls.
Or $300 for something I can set-and-forget.
Decisions, decisions.
