So just getting straight to the point I live in a flat where one wifi router is being used by about 6 other people in different rooms, will I get better latency/ping stability by connecting via ethernet cat5e etc. OR will the sheer number of users still be too big of a factor for ping drops? On a good day I can get 20ms but usually it wont last long and I experienceridiculuous ping spikes from 20-140ish ms. So basically I dont mind getting from 20 to 40 as long as it stays there. Will ethernet help with that?

Cheers.
 
Solution
Ethernet will improve your latency and speed, but the overall limit will be your ISP plan less the data rate used by all the others. Nonetheless, in a wireless environment a cable is always superior.
