As this is a dedicated server in a colo hundreds of km away, I have no
means to check this easily. Especially I cannot change the setting from
auto-neg. Btw, linux will show a negotiated 100/full link via mii-tool.

Sadly, none of these options are available to me :/
But even 100/half should give more than enough performance, right?
