Insignia 7.6m (25ft.) Cat6 Ethernet Cable (NS-PNW5625-C) - Only at Best Buy

The cable end covers are decent but a little stiff. Really make no difference to me as I only may have to plug it in and out a few times in its life time. Speeds are where they should be and pricing was best versus the other overpriced brands. These cable are literally pennies to fabricate package and distribute so all cable are always heavily over priced. Usually I have tons of free cable lying around from years of tinkering with computers but I wanted a Cat-6 (all other cables I have owner were Cat-5) to ensure the fastest speed possible. Especially now that I have Gigabyte modems and PC mother boards. I'm sure a Cat-5 would have showed almost the same speeds but it makes one feel better :)

We moved into a new (100-year old) house and had network/Internet speed issues. We tried many different things to try and figure out the problem, including repositioning the modem, the router, homeplugs, etc. Eventually we needed to add a second router. During the process we tried at least four different brands of cable. Running standard speed tests, these cables made the network considerably slower, by more than 20%! All the other brands were better. We were certainly surprised. The only good news is that it's cheap, so I didn't waste that much money.

I bought this cable to get internet connectivity from the Charter modem my computer uses, which is located in the basement family room, to my Sony Bravia Smart TV upstairs in the living room. It works great! The transmission quality is excellent, despite having to go 25 feet. I can't Wi-Fi my home as my elderly father lives with me and he has a pacemaker. I must use a "wired" internet connection for all my tech equipment, but "wired Routers" are no longer being sold. I only have one computer and one TV in the house so this cable does the trick.
