I recently got a 1 Gig fiber connection through AT&T. My wife and I have separate desktops within 5 feet of each other. Each computer has a network card that should be able to handle 1 Gig and are connected to the same router supplied by AT&T. My card is a Marvell Yukon 88E8056 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller located on an ASUS Rampage Formula motherboard.
I write this because my wife is getting over 900Mbps up and down where I "only" get 450 Mbps down and around 550 up. I realize I have more than enough speed for anything I could possibly want, but I at least need a reason so I can try and solve it.
I've tried Cat 5e and Cat 6 cable. My NIC is set to Auto Negotiation. I've tried both ports (I have two Ethernet ports) I don't have AMD anything, so that one thing with AMD can be ruled out. I'm truly stumped. I'm going to see if I can't get my hands on another network card (newer) and see what that can do.
