So that's why a 2 systems were getting crappy speeds. Yes, 2. It had been used only to split a single drop from another switch between two systems.

New drop, happy clients.

Some stuff here is museum material.

I once found a old switch in a wall

When you tug the unusually weighted cable and you hear metal scraping in the wall 10 metres away 😬

Hope it wasn't too much of an arse to fish out. Or did you let sleeping switches lie? :)

"In the wall" is an exaggeration. It technically was behind a massive desk that tool a group to move.

Basically in a wall. At that same place I also found a consumer router and a switch in the ceiling handling everyones traffic. It was toasty up there.
