Best way to get internet?????

The signal dies from Ethernet cabling? You do realize that cable wires are run hundreds of miles across the country without significant signal loss, right? We're talking 100

umm im sorry but where in the world does ethernet cables run for hundreds of miles.......
ISPs do not use ethernet to transfer the datastream to your house it comes through an extremely high amplified line that is not even close to an ethernet cable, it then goes into a tap in your basement and then into a coaxial cable up to your modem......
IT IS NOT POSSIBLE FOR AN ETHERNET CABLE TO GO OVER 300 FEET
in my expierence it will not last 70
we had an electrician string ethernet lines throughout our house and after weeks of frustration we found that the only line that worked was about 30feet of cable....and the next closest was a 70foot line that would not work (we were using cat5e ethernet cable in case u were wondering)

needless to say we went to wireless and i have never had a problem whatsoever

mine is reliable (although i have seen some that arent)
and all are just as fast for accessing the internet as a etherenet line would be because you probabaly only have about a 6mbs connection from your ISP unless your paying over 300$ a month just for one line

please do not answer questions when you dont know what you are talking about

And where exactly did the OP say that it was going 300 feet?

So I suppose the fact that I am a network technician and have installed several business applications for networks has no bearing on this, right? One of us is speaking with correct punctuation and is relating the skills to the OP so he/she can understand it well enough, and one of us can't be bothered to eloquate his thoughts with any intelligence whatsoever. I could go into specifics of signal loss and need of repeaters over distance and other technical terms, but for the specifics that the OP needs to know, I am wording it so he/she understands.

It's called a comparison. Nice way to ignore the fact that you proved yourself an idiot, though.

let me get this striaght
you are comparing ethernet cat5 cable to coaxial cable.............what do those two have in common........they both have a rubber coating i guess..........is that what you were saying im still confused

and for they guy that told me to get the cat5 done by someone who had a clue<---we had it installed by an electrician and then looked at by another once it didnt work....

and im going out of town for a week so sorry i wont be able to agrue with you idoits for a while

Also, you would be wise to remember the quote, "'tis better to be thought a fool than to open your mouth and prove it."

The maximum distance rating for Category 5e cable is 350m, not 300 feet.

Then your expirence is not typical. The idea that a ethernet cable is only reliable for a 70' is laughable to say the least.

Next time you have Cat5 installed have it done by someone that has a clue.
