Re: 100Mb Woes

you have got a gbit NIC because it will only let you select gigabit speeds if it is a gigabit NIC. You might need to refresh the connection though. I don't know why but in the past when I have had a power cut depending on what order the devices come back online sometimes the connection from the router to the modem shows as 100mbit and other times as 1gbit. I have never noticed any difference in speed and tbh I cant be bothered to investigate what circumstances cause it. I don't know about the shub but on my vmng300 it tells me the connected lan speed under the status tab:

Ethernet Link Status Up 1000 Mbps/Full duplex

Your power levels are fine btw. I would bet good money that despite the upgrade work they have done, the area is over subscribed and 80mbits is all you'll ever. You need to decide whether you want to pay for 100mbit and only get 80 or pay for 60 and receive 60. Don't forget the upstream though, there is a big difference.
