G.Network recently installed ultrafast internet in my house. When I plug my laptop into the router or the switcher, I get speeds of 600mbps. From the switcher I have cat6 cables to various rooms. At these rooms, the speed is only 100mbps. I looked at 1 outlet box and the terminations looked ok. What else should I be checking?

Your wall socket should be configured at B , Not A for gigabit speed
try fiddling with your wall socket see if orange / yellow pair is the first , not Green .

Then you have a problem in the wall. All 4 pairs must be connected properly to get gigabit speed and it sounds like at least one pair isn't present. It may also be that the in wall cabling isn't intended for network use but is instead phone cabling. Clear photos of all terminations would help.
