CAT5 Cable: Stranded vs Solid

["Benfield, John (ITD)" <john.benfield@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm about to place an order for some CAT5 cable to wire my house, I am
correct in assuming that I should be getting stranded cable rather than
solid?

Also, I'm looking at coax cable and there appears to be three type CT100,
RG6 and PF100. Prices for 100m are roughly 9.49, 10.97 and 21.20. What's
the
difference and is it worth paying for. It'll be used for the runs from a
Sky
dish to the box and general distribution around the house (yes I know I can
do this via CAT5 etc, but I'm installing both).
