In a house!Cat5e is easier to handle and meets almost all known domestic networking rerquirements.Personally I use 4-core (CW1308) phone cable, you just have to get RJ45 plugs designed for solid core (cheaps as chips from Maplins). It's much easier to run and SWMBO doesn't realise it's not just phone cable, so doesn't complain!For 100mbit networking in a domestic environment that's more than adequate as only 4 cores are required anyway (1/2 & 3/6)and "genuine" CW1308 has more than enough twists to minimize interference.</blockquote>
