I don't have to resort to cheeky banter at the end of my post either almost feels like I'm onsite again hearing that word haha 9 hours ago, Krazy Kyle said: damn, I paid $170...... pissed I had one place quote me ~$280 a box and tell me it was a good price so you haven't done too bad mate! The main thing is the outlets on each end, I don't skimp on these and am a bit of a sucker for krone products.

I may have also mentioned I have seen plenty of dodgy comms guys, some of them start thinking they're basically an electrician and start running power in their own home etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a few electrical industrys that breed very well rounded sparkys by nature and there is alot more work in those industries than domestic..

I have mostly done commercial work. probably should get back on topic from here on out, everyone knows to go for cat6 and try and find a quality installer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
