It is fine for you it sounds by the words 'future proof' that Rangerfan is looking for more than basic wiring that is fine for 2005. BTW fiber is used for beyond-gigabit audio and video distribution in the home. Not just Internet. And its about a 5% difference in price so that is really a moot point.

I agree with you, he should sit down with an honest AV integrator to develop a good long-term solution.

Rangerfan, don't rely on any wireless technology. Wire your house and use wireless technologies only when you have to... like going to the deck with your laptop or controlling a wirelessly automated light switch. There is simply no substitute for wire that compares, yet.
