I used to have a home network, until lightning hit nearby.
It came up the power connection and the copper phone connection. The modem/router/switch fried, then it spread out though the twisted pair Ethernet and fried every interface connected to the network.
These days I use WiFi unless I really need low latency / high reliability in a particular location. Optical would be nice, but WiFi is the poor man's lightning safe network.
