ive run 100mbps over cat3 before. if it will do it will vary greatly as a result of distance, interferance, copper quality etc.
10mbps may also have the advantage of cheap second hand hardware. a nice highly managed (what is fully managed?? really?) 10mbps switch costs nothing, and the internet link likely wouldnt give more than 10mbps. so yeah. 10mbps would be a suitable solution, but 100mpbs might work.

I have a client with a large motel complex that wants to run bb to the rooms. All of the rooms have standard telephone cable, but he cannot justify the cost of a full Cat 5 cabling job. Wifi is out as well as the internal walls are brick and he has tried and has got nowhere with that idea. Is Austel telephone cable Cat 3 compliant? At least with Cat 3 we can run his network at 10Mbps even if we can't get 100Mbps. I don't think it is Cat 3 compliant though. Any other ideas?
