Thanks guys for the interesting debates.
However after reading this article about the pitfalls of Cat6 I'm not
sure I even want to attempt it now.

Thanks

for the link - I had read it before and was the reason I made the
conclusion I did (it's a bit more of a faff, but I couldn't find it
again this time!

However, I don't think this is necessarily a good reason _not_ to
install Cat 6. If you make mistakes in cabling Cat 6 the worst that's
going to happen is you wasted the difference in price by having nothing
better than Cat5e, unless you end up doing something that would also
have ruined cat5e!
