The cable between the router and the switch (D-Link GO-SW-5G, which worked a treat on the BT setup) is different from the BT setup - it's this cable.
Whilst using the BT equipment, I used to get fast transfers between PC1 and PC2 (I can't remember what it was, but I think it was around 70 MB/s?) but now I'm only getting 11 MB/s transfer rates, which I believe is a 100 Mbit/s connection.
This page mentions Cat 6 shielded cable is needed, which is annoying. Are they right?
Question
Until recently, my ISP was BT, which came with a BT Smart Hub router.
I now have Virgin Media, and the router this time is a Virgin Media Super Hub 3.0.
