   I hate Microslop Winblows so much. My fiber connection was getting a mere 90 Mbits of download and upload, and I even bothered Telekom with it, and comes out Windows for some reason set the ethernet speed to 100/100 instead of 1000/1000. Manually changing it fixed the problem. What the shit?

     @FeartnTired
     
     Pretty well-hidden:
     
     1. Control Panel
     2. Network and Sharing Center
     3. Click on little "Ethernet" link (first screenshot)
     4. "Properties" button (needs admin rights)
     5. "Configure" button
     6. "Advanced" tab
     7. Find "Speed & Duplex" in the list
     8. Change it to "1.0 Gbps Full Duplex"
     
     Funnily, changing it back to "Auto Negotiation" works fine now and chooses 1 Gbit automatically. I'll have to observe what happens the next time I reboot my PC.

     @FeartnTired By the way, after step 3, you can see the current automatically chosen speed setting here, before entering Properties. It should be 1.0 Gbps on pretty much any sufficiently modern computer. If it's 100 Mbps that's likely to be wrong, though it may be that one is using an old Ethernet cable or so, in which case it may be expected.

     @taylan well LAN1 and 2 are not operational because I'm on WIFI - so it's a bit different, but it says "Link speed (receive/transmit): 650/866 (Mbps)"

     @FeartnTired That should be OK for WiFi I guess. My fiber home connection caps out at 600 Mbps anyway.
     
     I used to actually have 1.0 Gbps cable Internet, but it was overkill and too expensive. Switched to a 500 Mbps fiber connection (which was then upgraded to 600 at no additional cost because they changed their product line) while there was a special bonus to get the needed construction work for free, and the first few months for a very low price.

     @FeartnTired Oh well, that's pretty dire. I wonder why they need to dig up the garden though. Over here they use a crazy tech where they only dig a small hole in the pavement in front of your house, then some machine burrows from underground, like a mole, up to the desired location where it'll connect to the house, where they also only have to dig a tiny hole in the ground to get the cable up. It's really neat.

     @taylan there's hardsell round here for the direct to property fibre they installed in the pavement, not much take up. Neighbour has it, but I don't know what speed they'll be getting. I'd be very happy to pay a bit more to improve my internet speed, but it's not an option to get a bit more, you can go from the 7.5mbps/.64mbps up/down I have, to 900mbps with digging up the garden and drilling holes in walls (which isn't an option as we don't own this house, and hell no they aren't touching the garden), but there's nothing in between.
