This may sound obvious but as I just had to run some cat7 to get my full 10gig to my nas I thought I would ask.

So I have a 1gig internet connection though spectrum, the cable modem notes that the port is a 2.5 gig port. Would I have any better connection if I connected it to a 2.5 port on my Ubiquity, and used higher cat cables?

Normally you never get your 1gig you pay for, but do you think I might get any more by having the cabling out of it be at 2.5? I normally get 912 Mbps on my speed test, so I know i’m scraping the barrel of what I can improve.

    You’ll always hit slowdowns once you get to the big bad web. Your LAN can be supersonic, but the internet isn’t. I have fttp 1Gig synchronous. It was close to that at install but not anymore. Average 350 with bursts up to 800+.
