Home network Fibre optic vs Ethernet


Hello, 

I have the opportunity to re-wire my home including network. 
 

I’m after any advice on fibre optic vs Ethernet, lessons learned, costs, anything you have. 
 

I have 3 rooms to do. TV room, music, and home office/ garden room.

Thanks

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.
