A year ago, here, the only viable ISP that had scope for a good speed was Virgin ££££ where I am. Today I can get 150mbps up/down for £20 odd quid a month with 3gbps available, hence the landscape changes fast... Still pondering on this : - )
Code:
StarTech.com 1000 ft Bulk Roll of Gray CMR Cat6 Solid UTP Riser Cable - Cat 6 Riser Cable - Cat.6 CMR Ethernet Cable - 23 AWG - Gray (WIR6CMRGR)
I bought this in 2022 for £138.43 but the price has since gone up by £100-200.

I bought it with POE in mind and it has solid copper cores. My POE cameras work fine with it.
