If you do the wiring yourself buy some string (possibly waxed) and run it
along with your cables. That way if you need to add more you start from one
end tie on the string and pull from the other. easier than trying to
re-fish a new cable alongside the others.

As an extra plus, if your house is wired you can choose to use wire or wireless

You actually can run 10GbE over Cat6 and 8P8C ("RJ45") connectors if you
really want to
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/10-gigabit_Ethernet#10GBASE-T). So yes,
Cat6 up to 55m, or Cat6a up to 100m should be good up to at least 10GbE.
It's not completely future proof, but it'll be pretty good for a

have to weigh the benefits of doing so with your budget, future plans,

T5, I use them
in a couple of places in my house, with CAT5 wiring that was installed a
dozen years ago.
As long as the installation is good, CAT5E is OK for that.
What you *can't* normally run except with CAT6 are the new HD-BaseT
baluns, which will give you HDMI, audio, and a 100Mb Ethe

I still think cat5e is good enough for a long time, unless you really have the
money to install fiber in your home. And I cannot say for sure, I'd love to

It's called HPNA, and it's great if you have good wiring in your home.
And WiFI doesn't work because your inside walls are made of chicken
wire which makes your home a faraday cage as opposed to sheetrock
which seems to allow WiFi signals to pass through them ok.
