I'm not sure why you need to seek out a specialty retailer just for the wiring. Home Depot sells cat and cable wire by the foot or box, all levels of quality from quad to crap.

Teetor - that's an interesting comment. Back in 2000 Us West/Qwest spent around a billion or so dollars building out huge amounts of internet back bone here in the west, only problem was that they built out something like overcapacity that won't even approach ever being used in the next 100 years, and most likely will actually never be used because who can say that old technology fiber won't be replace during the next 100 years. (Wireless perhaps)

Anyways they spent a few billion, tore up every street, sidewalk and back yard easement they could get their hands on installing fiber, but then never allowed for the last 10 feet of hook up or a way for a household to take advantage of it.

I don't know if fiber has a future either. It all seems to be about to become obsolete thanks to wireless technology anyway.

Is the situation different in Florida in regard to being able to use fiber in the house for something?

Teetor, you are talking commercial, I was talking residential, I think the original poster was too.

Teetor, that's what I'm asking you: do you see in Florida a lot of residential users of fiber, not just the potential but actual homeowners being able to take advantage of fiber in their houses?
