Hi all

Posting to you from my NEW fibre connection :) Thanks to Chorus on here (Richard) for all his help.

I signed up on 100/20 over a year ago to trigger the install but tomorrow I will be upgrading to 900/450. I have the supplied ONT and modem from Spark all set up. I am using Cat 5e cables and I am connecting using a Gb NIC on my pc, however it is only "connecting" at 100mbs per second (attached) to the modem itself on my LAN.

Is there a setting I need to change somewhere to trigger the 1Gb connection speed between my PC and Modem LAN port?

You need to pop the clear retainer off and check that all cables are in the slot fully. The browns and blues are where the problem probably lies.

Looks like a nick in the blue wires insulation where they stripped the jacket so not the best job but I have seen much worse that has worked fine. Probably just not pushed fully home on one of those 2 pairs and needs a shove with a punchdown tool.

Brown/White pair also looks pretty wrecked.

retermination is certainly required.
