[–] Michal@programming.dev 5 points 2 years ago (1 child) Could be something wrong with a cable? A damaged cable can downgrade your connection from gigabit to 100mb permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] MystikIncarnate@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago Or to 10mbps, half duplex. I've witnessed this. My former company was trying to sell a client a new server because it was too slow when I noticed it was only operating at 10/half, instead of the 1000/full that both it and the switch was capable of. Some testing later, and the problem was at the server side cable termination, a quick re-termination and they were up to gigabit. Grabbed a spare run to the switch and connected another cable after verifying it was good and the company went from 10M/half to a LAG of 2000/full in the matter of about an hour. The speed complaints stopped. permalink fedilink source parent
