Require neat Home Networking Cabling...Anyone up for it?

Normally the issue is not having existing conduits for the cable as it shouldn't be run with electrical.

Theoretically yes, but you can do it, there is a potential for a slight impact in the speed of the network, but not much else.

But to the OP, a neat and good job unfortunately comes at a price...

I agree, in home environment it gives only a little impact. All depends on the lenght of the cable and electrical appliance connected to the electrical cable. We don't talk about heavy machinery, multiple laser printers...
 
If you are going to do it yourself, I recommend you buy the pure copper version of CAT5e, not that CCA junk.

Also if you are using magnetic ballast fluorescent lights near were the cable will run, you need STP.

Based in JHB North. Tired of using WIFI adapters. Need a good home network cabling done. Thinking of running cables through the ceiling.

Anyone able to do a neat job or refer me to someone that can do a good job at a good price?

Just go with what Mike said...a friend of a respected forumite is about as good as its going to get short of an actual respected forumite volunteering.

Cat E is a standard in itself...either its cat E or its not. "Pure copper version"...please man you might as well buy a 1000 USD monster HDMI cable.

Its been proven that the CCA "version" is inferior to pure copper.

Its a digital connection...either it works or it does not...and anything certified for Cat 5 e...will meet cat 5 e standards.

Feel free to provide *ANY* proof whatsoever that OP & his usage scenario would suffer by using non-pure copper cat 5 e cables....I dare you.

My work speak for itself, nice and artistic and as you can see (picture below), I even added a little bit of colour for that soothing peace of mind. Who needs stressfull, bland empty walls:
