Will using a 100mb/ps network cable as oppose to a 250mb/ps affect my online play?

Question

I am connecting my ps3, i have a cat5e(100mb/ps) and a Cat6, will it make a difference? please explain

Answer 1

I'm running a 54 MB/S wireless connection right now and I can host a game and everyone in the room has 4 or 5 bars for their connection strength on CoD:4. I tried to get a hardwire, but Time Warner Cable sucks donkey chodeling.

Answer 2

Shouldn't make one bit of difference. The only difference in Cat5e and Cat6 cables is that the Cat 6 cable has more twists per inch within the cable to keep noise down, usually not an issue in most homes.  So unless the cable is 100 foot or more, I don't think you will be able to tell the difference - your system won't.

Answer 3

Not at all. While the signal will go from your PC to your router and then your modem (or just to the modem) faster, your internet speed is probably 1-5 mb/s. As an analogy, think of it this way: If you ride your bike to the end of your driveway and then walk a mile, will you walk the mile any faster if you ride your bike faster to the end of the driveway?
