Cat 5 can do gigabit, Cat5e has exactly the same bandwidth rating as Cat 5, the only difference being it is slightly less interference prone.

I was looking at the

100m Roll, do you guys think this is ok for Cat 6, with that said the same site above do a 305m roll for £90? Is this the cheap ebay stuff, or would it ok?

Can't say I've heard of them myself...

I want to be future proof, so that for the next 10 years i would not have to upgrade the cabling hence attempting to go for Cat6. Already have Cat 5 wired up, but the internal transfer speeds are not quick enough when transferring large chuncks of data.

I'm getting a bit tired of repeating Cat 6 is pointless. It is not future proof. It can do nothing that you can't already with Cat 5.

As I said earlier unless your Cat 5 cable is faulty there will be zero speed difference. If your cable is faulty, then your problem is sub-par cable, not cable category. Sucky cable is sucky cable nomatter how many cats you stick on the label.
