Did anyone notice that they went to great lengths to make sure they could get full gigabit ethernet, and then only used Cat5e cabling? Cat5e cables will only give you a max of ~350-500 Mb/s, depending on the quality of the cables. If you want full gigabit ethernet over a copper medium, you have to use Cat6. What a waste...
