As home networks start to reach higher speeds, the skill of the "home networker" must improve as well, that includes buying or renting any test equipment needed.

Well I know for one thing Jon T I won't be paying that much to tell me anything as all DIY home network builders in my mind are only after one thing something that works without too much fuss about it, simple + practical; just like expecting something you bought to work from the time you pull it out of it's box. Yes if you are working from home or a self employed & it's your backbone of earning a wage speed wise I can see a case for it other than that total waste of time.

As for the rest, the "cement mixer" I could borrow one second hand cheaper than I could hire one, the "timing strobe kit" you can buy one cheaper than hiring one........ that's what friends are for; right getting back to the original topic>>>
