Just finished wiring my home network... HOW EASY!!... all propper, cables outside round the house, propper sockets in each room!
It was so easy!... why do people pay hundreds for networks setting up? 
Anyone fancy going in to business with me?... (<<-- Not a joke)

It's not, it's the heavy duty stuff, with the black coat, fully waterproof, don't worry, I did check before I used it, it's all cool

cat5 falls to bit inside. leaving it outside in all weathers is a massive no no!
Give it 6 months max before you rip it all out.

cost me £2.50 inc VAT and discount for the sockets and £10 inc VAT and discount for the cable... 20 mins to wire it all... compared to £200 for a decent wireless setup, know what I'd rather do, and have done!
