[Hidden-tech] know anyone who can pull ethernet 1 floor to home ofc& test the thruput?

[Chris Hoogendyk]

I once did exactly that in a rental home in Easthampton. ;-) After 
looking at the various holes in the ceiling for plant hangers, I 
surmised that I could hide a small smooth hole in the corner that would 
never be noticed. I color matched the cable and set it neatly in the 
wall corner up to the ceiling. Landlord came through on occasion over a 
couple of years and never noticed or complained. Gave me network 
throughout the house in the days before wireless.
