Home network - my Cat6 speeds - confirmation.

Hiya, I have just been testing my speeds out copying a single video file (1.1GB) from one computer to the next. They both support 1Gbps and so is the switch. I unhooked the internet router cable downstairs. I used a Linux Netbook plugged to the switch to act as the DHCP b/c the router downstairs in the lounge was connected by a long cable with a inline coupler (indoor Cat6 and outdoor Cat6) to go between the floors. In the same bedroom, 2 ports. B1a and B1b. 3m cable length to the switch behind the bedroom wall to the hallway's cupboard. Averaging at least 100-110MB/sec. If I then use B1a and B2a (so different bedroom). So a 3m cable and B2a is maybe 10m cable (up into the ceiling space and then down the wardrobe and thru the wall to a wallplate). I get maybe 95MB/sec. However now I wanted to test the long cable to the tv room (lounge) with its inline coupler. I took the cable off the internet router and into a laptop (1Gbps). Copied the same file and got 50MB/sec. This cable length is maybe 12m internal cat6 underneath the house, a joiner (inline coupler) then maybe another 12m of external cat6. Does this 50MB/sec sound right to you? Many thanks.
