Difference between Cat5e and Cat 6

[The Great Kamek]

I am aware both connection types have same transmission speed, but different max bandwidth. Is it worth upgrading to the 6 type?

It depends a bit more on how far away this cable is going to be and if you’re actually pushing above 800mbps connection speeds.

If you’re wiring something over 200 feet away and get near gigabit internet speeds then go for the cat 6, otherwise any old cat 5/5e will do 

I have an internet plan that can go up to 1GB download speed, but my wiring between my PC and modem is short.

If you’re close to the modem/router then just get the cat 5e, the benefits of cat 6 are mostly down to transmission stability over distance rather than actual speed.

 

Cat6 can do 10Gbps up to 55m or 5Gig/2.5Gig/1Gig up to 100m.

Cat5e can do 2.5Gig or 1Gig up to 100m.

 

Edit:

Not that this applies to OP's case but there is a difference in the spec.
