Modern ethernet in this modern age is super fast. Wireless WiFi has sped up a lot. But, not as much and it's not as reliable as "old faithful". Ethernet Data delivery is currently at IEEE 802.3bz standards and then 2.5 Gbps for 2.5GBASE-T as well as 5 Gbps for 5GBASE-T.
It is anticipated that soon, standard speeds are going to reach up to 10Gbps on a Cat6 cable. The Cat5e can now deliver speeds of 1 Gbps which is great. It is exciting to see how far internet speeds have come and to anticipate how fast they will get in the future.
