> Unless you have a local telecom willing to run CAT6 out to your house, you can't really find speeds like it. Is CAT6 all that common? 100m runs seems pretty limiting in a rural setting. I think even the fibre that was strung up to my house in a fairly dense inner city neighbourhood has a longer run than that to the hub. Is it possible to provide power to signal repeaters with POE to get around the ~100 meter limit? |

Yes, but at that point you may as well just run fiber. These days, the SFP modules are cheap (20km SFP for ~$80).
The loss of signal on a CAT6 cable will be much greater then on fiber. When too much noise is introduced on a CAT6 cable, speeds will drop considerably. Packet loss will be quite high.
