Where domain hunters compare notes

Recently switch to Fios 5G plan and noticed the wire from the modem to the router is Cat5e.

The tech installed it this way, Thee distance is about 15 feet. Is this acceptable or should I upgrade the cable? I really don't mind spending the money for some high quality CAT6/7/8 cables.

I've seen some older posts about this saying even though CAT5e is only rated for 1Gbps it can actually handle more for really short distances.

But I can't help but feel like if I'm going overboard on the Internet plan, I might as well have CAT8 everywhere. Thoughts?

Side note: I've been getting DNS Probe errors, even after switching my DNS server to 1.1.1.1. any help?
