In an era where we are all surrounded by wireless networks, and probably the majority of us connects his home PC via wifi to the internet, is an "old-fashioned" Lan cable a revelation.
Not only that, of course, the speed extremely increases (in my case of ~ 14 MB / s download and 7 MB / s upload to an incredible 99.6 mb / s download and 16 MB / s upload) but also the Ping decreases considerably what especially in Online Games (Shooter [Battlefield etc] or MMORGS [World of Warcraft]) leads to a real improvement in the gaming experience.
For cable: It is very well made, the two plugs fit perfectly into the port on the modem (or router) and also in the PC (notebook, printer, television).
An Absolute buy recommendation on my part.
