I didn't get the whole place done - all I have is five blank sockets
around the house, each with two CAT5 sheilded twisted pair cables behind
them. It cost £270, for the cabling and everything terminates in the
attic. They also didn't provide the proper wall plates (I'll do that
myself when I need to use it).
Expect to be charged £50 a socket plate if they wired it up, and about
£300 extra if you want them to put in a patch panel in the attic.
