Is CAT3 wire still usable these days?

I ran out of CAT5a cable just in time for my last pull into my family room to a WAP. It seems to test out fine, but when I try to stream video, it quickly shows signs of slow data transfer. I only have a 50mb feed at the cable, I capped the port at 30mb well within the CAT3 spec. The pull is only 60 feet. Should I be looking at the ends or the cabling to figure this vexation?
