So it turns out, the tech was actually really smart.
Since my house is wired for Cat7, when the internet was started back in the day, that tech didn't have a way to pin a cat7 cable, so he had fenagled a cat7 to cat5 connection which was shady at best. This was behind a "locked" section which I couldn't see, so I had no idea it was so badly done.
This new tech, ripped it all out and wired it correctly. It's still a cat7 to Cat5 connection, which adds a point of failure. These guys don't carry cat7 pins or crimper tool. I've ordered those so I can just make that connection directly into the ONT outside instead of having that connection.
But for now, it all works and speeds are back up.
