Yeah, 5e isn't the speed I'd prefer with the type of networking stuff I do at home (but passable), but for most people, it's more than good enough.

A powerline ethernet adapter could also be something that OP considers in the meanwhile if he can't get someone to pull a line for him. Something "as simple as pulling a line" like that could still cost a several hundred dollars to do per line, could decrease if pulling more than one line.
