Home network Fibre optic vs Ethernet

Actual network professionals will tell you that you're not going to get a sound bump from fiber. Or any change in networking as long as the data is getting there. There may be edge cases where poorly designed or malfunctioning devices have some potential improvement, but in the real networking world with properly designed and functioning devices, the digital data is digital data until it hits the analog section of your DAC. 

Love the range of opinions here. Fiber works great for me and our entire city is on fiber, front to back. So why would I bother with Cat6 ? Other than 6 inches from my sNH-10G to my Innuos Zenith Mk3. 

@tvrgeek absolutely no reason to need any of that making the runs in my house. Purchased fiber in precut lengths and 96% of the runs are straight with very slight curve variations. As stated above our entire city is on fiber and has been for over 20 years. Cake and all Owens Corning FO.

Fiber is a pain. You need Fluke cleaners, I think they run about $100, and we usually hit a fiber end with it 3 times, so 33 cleanings and it's done, not to mention that you won't even have the equipment to test it to see how compromised it is. With so little data, perhaps it's irrelevant, but we use copper unless we have to use fiber due to the traffic load, and we're dealing with fiber issues all the time. We are an industrial environment, but our rule is fiber when needed, otherwise use copper.

Do you think the Internet connection to your system is the biggest problem you have? Maybe if you had dial-up. Go buy some better speakers and stop worrying about fiber or wired. Bigger fish.
