Weird situation. A cable somebody installed between buildings on this property is very old and only capable of 10mbit link because of unitized wire pairs. Its like CAT 5 or something. The WAN internet connection is capable of 25mbit and comes into building A where people use it just fine. Then in building B, which is the one connected via 10mbit wired link, the internet feels choppier and its not just because its lower bandwidth, more like it feels congested in some weird way. The switch in Building B that receives the 10mibt connection is gigabit. Is there something about the differential that could be causing the choppiness? We're gonna rewire the cable today for gigabit but Im wondering if thats a known symptom?
