Hi,
I have optic fibre internet with up to 1GBps capability. However, it is sometimes capped to 90Mbps upload/download which I find weird. For example, yesterday, it was fine doing 900Mbps, however now, whatever I do, it’s 90Mbps and nothing is eating up my bandwidth.
I have a CAT 5e ethernet cable so that shouldn’t be the issue, I was getting almost the 1Gbps download/upload capability yesterday.
Does anyone know what I can do? Thanks!

If the link speed is at 100mbps then it’s most likely a faulty cable
