Both cables faulty.

I ordered 2 of these cat5e cables to replace my current cat5 cables because the cables were bottlenecking my bandwidth. With the cat5 I was maintaining a steady speed of 80 mbps. Once I tested the cat5e from amazon, one was capped at 12 mbps and the other fluctuated wildly from 12 to 60 mpbs. Both cables were faulty, which is sad because.. they're cables. They're not complex pieces of machinery--if both are defective it's a sign of poor quality control in general. Very disappointing.
