Internet capped at 90Mbps (alien.top)

Hi,
I have optic fibre internet with up to 1GBps capability. However, it is sometimes capped to 90Mbps upload/download which I find weird. For example, yesterday, it was fine doing 900Mbps, however now, whatever I do, it's 90Mbps and nothing is eating up my bandwidth.
I have a CAT 5e ethernet cable so that shouldn't be the issue, I was getting almost the 1Gbps download/upload capability yesterday.
Does anyone know what I can do? Thanks!

See if a 10/100 switch in mix

May need to turn off auto negotiation and set both ends to 100/1000

If the link speed is at 100mbps then it's most likely a faulty cable

As you were hitting nearly 900Mbps it maybe a glich on your end or the ISP, how is the speed also always run the speed on multiple devices.

Had this happen to me 3 weeks ago. I examined the cable and found a very small kink in it. Changed to a different cable and it was back to 700 Mbps. Could only get 97 Mbps with the damaged cable.
