My house is less than 10 years old. The standard builders package included a cat5 run to every room, but I paid extra for them to do cat6 instead.
After upgrading my internet service a year or so ago, I had been experiencing random disconnects and link speed slowdowns to my desktop PC in my basement office area.
Today I traced all the wires in the house. The electrician installed cat6 everywhere, except two runs were cat5. Guess where one of them was?

Seriously tho, that sucks. Hopefully you can use the cat5 to fish cat6 through the walls.
