can someone kindly condense the advice (farmer level) to what is

Located in a rural lane, about 1 mile as the cables run to the exchange.
Fibre unlikely for 9 houses over 800m from the nearest cabinet.

Currently none of our TVs are connected to the Internet although they
have the facility. Devolo and wifi meet the i -pad, lap top, PC use but
I suspect will prove inadequate eventually.

Any thoughts?

Huh!
I succeeded in confusing myself by simply googling cat5e.

A gentleman from America was explaining how he had run 4 cables to each
place he was likely to have a TV.

This could easily be 4 sites here plus the PC in the office. Do I really
need 18 separate cables?



If your question is how to I install cables in my house, then I would
suggest that you use the latest standard which is Cat 6.

The cables must to be correctly terminated, it is important to retain
the twist as far a possible.

The cables need to be run back to a convenient central point where you
have your external internet connection terminates and a Gbps capable switch.

Depending on the size of your house you may find it appropriate to plan
for a 2nd wireless access point and maybe a 2nd switch. The maximum
cable length is 100m, though that is more of a consideration for office
blocks.

I did find a patch lead I had bought was not good for 1Gbps.
