To be able to provide consistent 100mbs speed the network would have to be at least 200mbs. (guess)

To be able to provide consistent 100Mbps will require way more than 200Mbps to be shared out unless you have like 5 houses on there.
If it's 100Mbps of ethernet level bandwidth and you get 11MB/s on it be happy. Just to point out no-one on 10Mbps gets 10Mbps people see 8.8 - 9.2.
Patch cable != crossover cable by the way which will almost certainly be what is linking your PCs to the router. Though its' ports might auto-cross I guess.
