Just wondering if those in the know can shed light on a few basic questions I have.I have a run of only about 20-25 meters from upstairs in my house where the ONT and Modem will sit down to a couple of gigabit switches that feed the rest of the house. I've read "Cat5e does 1Gbit at 100 meters." and not to bother with Cat6 - agree or disagree?Does the ONT hold a static IP? i.e. will I get a static IP as a result of moving to fibre vs a dynamic assignment when ASDL drops?If I upgrade from a huawei hg 630b to a 659/b will that be sufficient to futureproof me for the shift to gigabit speed when Spark finally enables it in Dunedin? The 630b only has megabit ports :(
