You're right. It's copper, currently, on a daisy chain (we have a third, small building between). The first 150ft is working great at full gigabit speeds, but the second got downgraded by the hardware to 100Mbps 😡 Same cable, and it ran at gigabit on install. The run is out-of-doors, so I got direct-bury grade copper lines.

I was 🤏 this close to getting a couple media converters just for that 300-ft line about a month ago (copper → MC → 300-ft fiber → MC → copper). The modem is copper-only, and I don't know if the ISP would like it if I swapped it for my own (including that I'm not sure I could get it set up because of vendor locking by the ISP).

Media converters work until they break and you have no diagnostics
