Is there any reason I shouldn't use downpipe as a conduit for ethernet cabling? Due to a recently discovered architectural quirk of my house, I have pretty much one chance of getting my conduit in place forevermore. Almost every ethernet cable for my house will need to go through this conduit (around 20 runs by my count, so probably at least 30 in reality). I can imagine wanting to add additional runs later.I'm therefore thinking that bigger will very much be better, so was contemplating using 80mm downpipe or 90mm stormwater pipe. Any reason why I shouldn't do this (I'm thinking unfortunate plastic reactions, for example)?I will make sure I run draw cords, and am also thinking about using inspection junctions to untangle any snares and bend cables around corners. Obviously I will also need to rodent-proof entrances and exits. Other than that, anything else to consider?
