Aren't you kind of contradicting yourself here? You probably don't want the cheapest wall jacks if you're running cat-6, and 100-pair cable would probably make a big mess when it comes to the integrity of data going over the network. If you want lots of bandwidth between all corners of the house, I'd probably suggest fiber -- at least for connecting several switches together, which then might branch off with copper. -- _ _ _ _ _ ___ _ _ _ ___ _ _ __ "Did you sleep well?"
