My point though was that no one is going to get 40Gbps of speed on a copper ethernet cable. I mean, we are just now starting to get 2.5Gbps nics out there. There is no 40Gpbs copper ethernet adapters out there so it seems silly to market a speed that no one can get.
But if you're rocking some of the new(ish) 1 or 2 Gbps Fiber connections, you minimally want Cat 6 installed, and especially if you're hardwiring anything. Go ahead and go run some speedtests.
Don't take my word for it, you can find all the info you need all over the internet.

Edit: I meant SFP not fiber. technically SFP can use DAC cables which are copper.

40GBASE-T is a port type for 4-pair balanced twisted-pair Cat.8 copper cabling up to 30 m defined in IEEE 802.3bq.[118] IEEE 802.3bq-2016 standard was approved by The IEEE-SA Standards Board on June 30, 2016.[119] It uses 16-level PAM signaling over four lanes at 3,200 MBaud each, scaled up from 10GBASE-T.
I purchased a yet another generic Cat6 cable (with better reviews on Amazon) and I finally get 200 Mbps on WiFi.
So cable quality matters, now if the run was say only 10 ft, I am pretty sure Cat5e would have worked just fine around 200 Mbps, but not if I had internet speed of 1Gbps…
Also, spec compliant copper cabling allows for CAT 5e up to 100m at 1Gbps (2.5Gbps & 5Gbps also possible due to new spec lowering the signaling rate). CAT 6A is designed for up to 100m at 10Gbps. CAT 6 is generally not deployed if 10Gbps support is planned because it's only designed for 10Gbps at reduce lengths (~55m). CAT 6A or fiber would be the preferred choice for 10Gbps.

How do you live with yourself? You need Cat8 now!
:p
I also have 1gb down 1gb up fiber at my house. I built the house with Cat6 running everywhere. When the fiber company installed the ONT(router) they used Cat5e when converting from fiber to ethernet.
I get 950-980mbps up and down.
