My internet slowed down a bunch for some reason and tech support kindly let me know that they were showing that my router had only negotiated 100MBit, and looking at the cable I'm pretty sure it's the Cat 5 IT gave me when I turned up to university in 1998 so that's the end of that mystery

@mjg59 I’m running 1Gbps on a 20m of CAT5 with dodgy ends I manually crimped back in 1999 (with the TPairs incorrectly paired).
I don’t know how this is working (and to test, I have pushed about 300MB/s down it but I can’t source or sink more than that with the devices I have.)
