It's not. 10baseT can actually become more expensive than thinnet. But in
some cases it may be worth the extra cost. The star configuration makes
cable troubleshooting much easier. There is no need for cable termination,
since the card and hub/concentrator take care of that.
On a strict cost comparison, 10base2 (thin net) often is cheaper, but I
speak from experience when I say it's a pain to troubleshoot. I've got one
building that I'm responsible for that is ideal for 10baseT. It was of
course wired with thin net cable. And I spend at least one day a month up
there because some idiot PARTIALLY disconnects his network cable. This of
course kills the ENTIRE building.
