I thought I'd share this since it was the first time I've experienced it and I thought it was strange.
I recently had a 3ft Ethernet cable go bad on me causing my connection to drop from 1gbps to 100mbps between my main home network switch and a small local "smart hub" in my home office.
It was connected from my office hub to my wall cat6 keystone jack.
The cable was a decent quality cable that had been working fine for 5 years and then one day it just dropped down to 100mbps connection. Nothing outwardly wrong looking about it.
Once I put in another cable I had lying around the connection was back to 1gbps.
Just a lesson I'd share that decent cables can sometimes just degrade for no apparent reason and always try swapping them if you run into wierd issues.
