You’ll always hit slowdowns once you get to the big bad web. Your LAN can be supersonic, but the internet isn’t. I have fttp 1Gig synchronous. It was close to that at install but not anymore. Average 350 with bursts up to 800+.

cat5e can handle 1gbe, 2.5gbe, 5gb and 10gbe over short distances...
“Cat 7” is not a real thing. It’s just high-spec 6A, and the higher spec doesn’t do anything for Ethernet speeds because 10GBaseT is already supported with plain old Cat6A or even Cat6 at shorter distances.
i did find that i got a more reliable/stable connection plugging my fiber media converter into a 10g port rather than a 1gb port on one of my switches. your mileage may vary but it’s worth a try
