Why I'm running ethernet in my home

(ok, there are other reasons; gigabit wirespeed instead of the 50Mbps common on wireless networks (I didn't actually measure mine). Finally, my printer has ethernet but no wireless; by running cable to it and the WAP, I can print from anywhere in the house! :) Really, though, the latency and consistency are what I appreciate.)
