Technically that way that cable is punched down does not meet the spec for CAT6. 
There should only be a maximum of 12.7mm of unsheathed, untwisted cable.
It's not going to actually matter in this case though, not until you try to run 10GbE over it anyway, but you'd need to replace the patch panel when the time comes to do that anyway haha.
Sounds like you've got this under control now. It does seem like a bit of a half arsed job to me, but possibly it's the norm these days.

I'm doing a half arsed job or the electrician did?

Sorry - The sparky did. You're all on the right track. I think the reason there's so much confusion here is there is no technically correct way to do what you are wanting, and everyone has a different idea on what the best way is.
At the end of the day the best way is what works the best for your particular setup, but you definitely don't want to end up with double NAT.

How much did all that cost materials + labor?

Above is new standard for new builds as part of the UFB push If you are thinking it's a case of retrofitting.. So often absorbed into the total package costing and not as easily identified how much such an install would be.

We recently had our house "naked" (leaky home being re-clad). I couldn't afford a full structured cabling solution, but managed to get mostly there with 6 ports scattered throughout our house, terminating at the location of our VDSL modem (and where Chorus assured me my ONT can be situated when fibre gets here in December). It's my favourite of all the upgrades we had done during the repair process. :-)
