We've found an even mix of: Have two drops already (sometimes one is "phone" but is Cat 5 or better) Have a single but willing/happy to add a second Want to use a single with the phone's switch I can only recall one customer who truly needed to have GB to the desktop. This company is running huge construction plan drawings all over the network and there's a clear measurable improvement with GB. They ran additional drops for the phones. A few others said they have GB to the desktop, so we told them to nail down a few connections to 100m and then survey the users. None of them could tell the difference, as they were just using everyday office applications where this doesn't matter. -- Carlos Alvarez TelEvolve 602-889-3003
