Default Cat5e v Cat6 install is it worth the difference in price?

Is there any advantage on using Cat6?
The rest of the house has been done in Cat5.
I'd hate to do it then find I really need Cat6 in a year or so.

How far do you think computers will change in 10 or 20 years?



To be unrecognisable as computers, I would say.

You wont but a 'computer' and load 'software' on it.

You will have an appliance, with apps.

Most of which will be cloud based, not on the computer at all.
