richms: Thats been resized small as, but I can make out 10-100mps on the computers.
Is that a limitation of the wiring or just the router chosen, because it sure as hell isnt good enough to be pushing out something that only supports obsolete speeds.
Time to find a new industry!
ALARMNZ:
However acheiving Gigabit speed over a CAT5/6 which is also carrying voice is a limitation if you choose to use the cable in that way.
ALARMNZ:
If you know of a good supplier of 8 port giigabit routers and swiches for a purchase price less than $150 new please advise.

sbiddle: You really do have a messed up view of the industry as a whole.
sbiddle: PoE is nothing like Beta vas VHS because PoE isn't competing with anything. Certainly in mid range installs, particularly if AP's or VoIP phones are to be installed PoE is now the norm. I'm finding it's also becoming exceptionally handy in installs in older legacy buildings where modern thinking of locating power plugs near wiring didn't happen and have used PoE powered switches has been a great way of removing bottlenecks.
sbiddle:Your views are in many ways far behind the times, particularly that is artificial restrictions like single cat5e runs. Having to buy an additional switch to plug two devices (such as a PC and printer or PC + phone) into a single location is just plain crazy. The cost of running new cable in the first place is far less than trying to do it in the future.

Firstly we are talking about Fibre to the Home ( FTTH) not Fibre to the Business (FTTB) and in the latter scenario your comments are indeed correct but they do not apply very well in the ordinary domestic setting. ( leaving out the up market flash homes) Despite your enthusiasm for PoE ....unfortunately its not going to easily overcome the main competitor which is "for your info" the mighty AC. Will PoE handle Plasma TVs? will PoE recharge my laptop in 30 mins ? or will PoE juice my gaming console ? answer not anytime soon…..so when you say PoE does not have a competitor …..I’m not so sure you should dismiss AC so quickly.
Steve my views are neither behind or ahead of the times they are firmly stuck in the present.I do not want to argue with you endlessly but please take a moment and consider that an average bedroom in an average new home needs new cable, ......would it not make more sense to run a single Cat5e next to each AC outlet within that room than two Cat5e to one single outlet. ( printer hear.... PC there... Phone over here etc etc )
The TCF home wiring group (so far) has forgotten about the practicality of use and the displacement of technology within spatial design (impractical nature of excessive cognition in a small room). Unless the TCF group and many associated pundits such as yourself begin to tone it down, you run the risk of being sidelined.
One Cat5e is enough and most electricains know it….its time to face up, dual (two)Cat5e to most outlets is a luxury which is fine if you can afford it.
Please comment and tell us all about the contents of the SDP box you saw and wrote about.
ALARMNZ:
Here is the latest blurb from CHORUS about their SDP
http://www.chorus.co.nz/f780,38883/NGHS_20Install_20SDP_1_.pdf
Unless our good GZ contributor Sbiddle can confirm otherwise I say the basic CHORUS SDP is nothing more than a DSL splitter in a fancy box ...thats it.
Looks like a marketing dept "colouring in" job to me.
It reminds me of that favourite saying "when in a hole...stop digging"
