where to buy bulk cable?

[Konig]

I'll be wiring my new house in a couple weeks and need to purchase about 2000 ft of rg6 and cat5 cable. I intend to use a bundled (2) RG6 + (2) Cat5e cable. I've seen it on some of the home shows on HGTV.

The only problem is that I haven't been able to find it. Home depot didn't have it. I've only found one web site that lists it and it's Monster brand at $1.90/ft. Is there something cheaper out there? What are some options? Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks, Konig

Here is a place that has it for $1.09 a foot. http://www.hometech.com/techwire/combo.html#HT-COMBO4

The site cmw2010 posted, except I'd go for the combo6 with the two fibers as well. I see 10Gb within 10 years and I doubt copper will carry it.

combo 6 on the site above if you have the money and plan on staying in the house 10+ years

actually the direction is to do it over copper. We use fiber for 10 G now, but there is a lot of development/push for copper.
