If I were to make a guess as to best way to future-proof a new build, it would be copious lan cabling. It'd be interesting to know if these FTTP new builds are getting that too?
Oh I've seen a house (it was a rebuild job) all cabled up with LAN cabling in a Gigaclear FTTP area
I'd had a quick glance in the basement where it all ended up
Yup - much as I thought it would be to make it as cheap and as shoddy as possible - all CCA rather than proper Copper LAN cable
I said absolutely nothing - I thought it wiser to keep my mouth shut.
The house has lots of steel and also aluminum foiled insulation in it so I'd guess the wifi reach is dire as well.
Round here rebuilds are all the rage. Take an old house ,multiply extended and mucked around over the decades.
Unsuitable in many ways to modern living and with dire insulation properties, microscopic kitchens etc
Importantly 'new' builds do not have to pay any VAT on them.
This also applies when the original house is totally demolished including the foundations.
So it becomes cheaper to knock 'em down and rebuild from scratch rather than trying to renovate/improve.
