Cat5? Not even Cat5e? You sure the problem isn't just that their connection is 10Mbps or worse and we sites aren't just taking a couple minutes to load?

Yeah, e. Just didn't bother with the variance. Though, could even be Cat6 for all I know, never looked.

Almost just said Cat but figured that may confuse people. Our engineers keeping the network purring like a kitty.

Probably should have just said "Ethernet"

That's another thing entirely. I don't know if alive people can even use it.

Well if they're only getting 10Mbps over Cat5 then the cable's busted, since normally they're rated for 2.5GbE.

Nope, Cat5 was nominally rated for 100 MHz, but was superseded by Cat5e for greater reliability at such speeds
