20ft cat5e cable $2.13.
Don't listen to your friend. All cat5e cable is built to a minimum specification which is used all over the world.
Don't believe for one second that the like of AT&T, Bell, Comcast, Oracle, MSFT, Google....well you get my point pays 500 dollars for anything less then 5000 ft of cat5e cable.
All this all digital, gold plated, triple twisted double insulated bullcrap is just that.
It's all a marketing ploy to have you purchase a cable with a markup of 499 dollars.
Get the cheap stuff because you aren't going to see improvements of internet speed with a "better" cable
And if you are that worried just get cat6 cable which gives up to 1Gbit/s vs 155Mbit/s but considering that the best to the home internet is 101 Mbit/s I think cat5e is just fine.
