Okay, this is my turn. Please bear with me.
As you might know, my flat is currently under renovation. I was advised by my contractor to contact Open Net should we intend to run the unit in Fibre Optics. I have checked, my flat/unit is FO ready.
I am quite confused after hearing what various parties have told me.
I heard that there are different types of cable (e.g. Cat5, Cat5e, Cat6 and Cat7)? So basically, for homeuser (well, my spouse will use one of the room as home-office), I would prefer to have wireless internet connection in my unit
Questions:
1) which type of cable will provide good stable upload/download speed?
2) if I use the router that the telco provides or should I get my own? If latter, which is the brand (+model) would you recommend?
3) Should I get my electrician to lay the land/cable point or better to contact telco to get it wired the entire unit (in terms of cost-saving and connectivitiy etc)?
4) my electrician charge based on each point installed. He said between $120-150/point. However, he said some telco will charge based on per metre?
5) charges varies; depending on the brand of the cable provided? (if that's the case, which brand(s) is/are more reliable)?
Sorry for all these questions but I suppose some of you lot can really help.
Thank you.
