Cat 5 Cable Conduit

I believe he did, too... but the point is that is does only use 2 pair, but I wouldn't recommend using the other 2 pair for anything else.

I use a wireless 10Mbs, with a DSL running at 1 meg, and never get full speed when roaming the house, or lose connection altogether. I'm also seriously considering pulling cat5 or 6 through the house. It will not be easy for myself, the lower level has a sheetrocked ceiling, and I'm not a experienced wire fish person, but will attempt it.

Hmmm. Perhaps I should have said, no shortage of ethernet tech info on the Internet *better than mine*!

Many thanks for pointing this out.

CAT5 is fine for a home network.

CAT5e is the standard which I would recommend. Its good for 10BaseT or

100BASE-T Ethernet and support up to 100 megabit per second data transmission (100 MBPS). Currently I am working in a 7 story building which is being built in a medical complex and all the computer networking cable being installed is Cat5e.

just don't go to HD or Lowes to buy cable/wire. You'll get soaked. Go to local electrical supply house. A box of CAT5e should be approx 50% of what the home centers ask.
