As the title suggests,
Last month we took a contract with the virgin 500mb internet, tried it for the first time today with a hardwired ethernet cable direct from router -> switch -> PC
And only appear to be getting 90mbs or so.
Any thoughts/ ideas? settings are all completely default.
thanks

The "patch panels" why are the red cat5e cables running from one of the patch panels to the other? what is the point in doing that?
I was thinking the same? so the red cable go to all your rooms then wire to the top patch panel behind it? you could just plug the red cables into the switch.

Must be a reason. Why 2 patch panels if only one is to the sockets? Was there 2 BB suppliers and a simple failover using two sets of patch leads? Personally I’d just replace the switch at this point. Detailed investigations can follow by using a cable tester for continuity between patch points and outlets 😊
