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.
“Cat 7” is not a real thing. It’s just high-spec 6A, and the higher spec doesn’t do anything for Ethernet speeds because 10GBaseT is already supported with plain old Cat6A or even Cat6 at shorter distances.
