Fiber, though, provides very fast connections, so the advantage of using Ethernet would be greater. I had fibre in the apartment that I rented for a while, providing 50 megabits per second connections in both directions. In my current apartment, the connection is via cable at 105 megabits per second downstream. The upstream speed is considerably less, but I can't remmeber it. You might be able to achieve 105mbps connections with 802.11ac wifi under suitable conditions. In general, though, I think the Ethernet would be worthwhile. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
