For many examples of word-hyperbolic groups which I have seen in the context of low-dimensional topology, the ideal boundary is either homeomorphic to a n-sphere for some n or a Cantor set. So, I was wondering if this is generally true or there are some examples of hyperbolic groups whose boundaries are neither a sphere of some dimension not a Cantor set. If there exist such examples, is there any known topological classification of boundaries of hyperbolic groups?
