    Eventually the network Nazis turned up and went fraking mental and he came within a nats wotnot of getting the boot.

    Going back a decade here...

    I was spending a fair bit of time in server rooms in cellars and whenever I saw a network guy down there it was my job to tell the rest of my department to save their files and expect a network outage.

    I was usually right.

      Well to be honest, VectraMan's point about duplicating long cable runs made me change my mind again. So I'm not actively looking for any.

      I did see an 8-port Linksys router, if that's any help, although I didn't check whether it was suitable for UK broadband. (Not all are.)
