Unless those connections are upgraded to multiplex fiberoptics, all you'll get is a really fast connection to the bottleneck.

Very true. When we built our house last year I installed 2 and 3 drops of Cat 6 cable in every room in the house. When Bell installed their Fiber Optic cable it was slower than expected until I realized they used shitty patch cables (10mb/s!) between their hardware and mine. When I swapped them with Cat 6 I saw a nice speed improvement.
Wifi is convenient sure but much slower than wired.
