[Hidden-tech] Network question

[Daniel Lieberman]

Have a perplexing situation. We have 20 megabit down internet service from
Comcast coming in to the front building of our place, gets passed via Cat 5
probably 150 feet to a patch panel, which distributes it to ethernet ports
in 5 or 6 rooms in the back building.

Why would the connections in the rear building only provide 6-7 megabits?
Could we replace switches or panels in the rear building to provide more
bandwidth to the individual connections? Or is the splitting of the signal
in the rear building the issue?

Any suggestions? I'm baffled.

Daniel
