You beat me to it P G .. I was going to mention HDTV to James. Can I
also point out that a gigabit really isn't that much, especially if you
consider it's use in 3 or 4 years time [which as I already mentioned, I
am talking about future proofing here]. It's only a few years since
10mbps was fine ... now I struggle to get by on 100mbps.

And yes, I was refering to cat5e .. I haven't used anything else for a
few years, so I just slip into the bad habit of calling it cat5.

Everyone keeps pointing out how much easier and cheaper it is to run
cables while building or renovating a house, so surely fibre has to be
at least a consideration if you plan to live there for a few years? I
wouldn't plan a house without it yet, and I already conceeded that I
would still run cat5 [ok, cat5e then] for some current apps.
