True. Cable length is an important factor. I used to make my CAT5 cables
terribly terribly wrong, but didn't even notice until I once mounted one
in a mechanical workshop (probably full of noise) and couldn't make it
work. :P
That's when I learned you have to take the twisted pairs into account.

In this case, there's no point in trying to use GE anyway since none of
the SB products support it. You may get away with 10/100 especially if
your runs are much shorter than the 90m allowed for CAT5.

It might but your audio quality will definably suffer. Expect dropouts
as your router tries to make everything work.

I have had situations where we had to run networking over cat3 due to
very old buildings. Most modern 100mbps PHYs are good enough that it
should work reasonably well. Gigabit on the other hand is not going to
work well. It might get a link but you will get mostly packet loss.
You will get som
That's interesting.

In theory you can get reliable 100 Mbps from Cat3, but that probably
requires some special hardware in each end of the cable.

What I originally believed to be Cat-5 running through my house has
turned out to be Cat-3. I had hoped to repurpose the phone system (the
Cat-3 wiring) to provide ethernet throughout the house. Are my hopes
dashed? Wikipedia says Cat-3 is for 10Mbps, doesn't sound like a very
good idea to plug
