Cat6 100Mb/s vs 1000Mb/s

Hey guys,Just purchased two custom made 30m cable lengths from a company. I went through testing the cables (which I'm glad I did now, as I almost didn't) and one of them always only ever connects at 100Mb/s. I've tried two different computers and three switches. All my adapters and switches are gigabit capable. I cannot replicate the issue with any other cable but this one.The company I purchased it from say it has nothing to do with the cable, but I get the feeling that they didn't expect me to notice the difference or care anyway.Can a cat6 cable be accidentally crimped/wired to be capable of 100Mb capacity only? Is there something else I am missing? I can't see it being anything else so far. I was afraid something like this would happen. I requested pre-made generic 30 meter length, but they made it themselves. :|Cheers!
