To follow up on this, consider what you'll be doing versus your ISP
speed.  Are you going to be transferring large amounts of data from one
location in the home to another where you would be able to take
advantage of the higher speed?

I would bet that in most cases, the ISP is going to be a major
bottleneck compared to the capability of cat5e inside the home.
