Re: [PLUG] How to diagnose poor Ethernet throughput with Mint

[Frank via plug <plug@lists.phillylinux.org>]

At the end of the day, my regular Philadelphia electrician just moved my 
cat 6 cable away from my electrical wires, and everything is cool.  He 
even did the plugs himself, and it works just fine. (I'm getting 
something close to 1000 MB/s now.)  So, I don't think that cat 6 is as 
picky as it's made out to be.


That being said, it's good to know that fiber is an option if some 
situation arises in which there's no way to keep away from electrical wires.
