Fast ethernet (100base-T) uses pins 1, 2, 3 & 6 while gigabit needs
all eight. If you get a cable where one of 4, 5, 7 or 8 is broken (or
someone cheaped out on the cable and it only has two pairs to begin
with) you'll have a cable that can only do 100 mbit, which is about
the speed that you saw.

Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
