You’ll always hit slowdowns once you get to the big bad web. Your LAN can be supersonic, but the internet isn’t. I have fttp 1Gig synchronous. It was close to that at install but not anymore. Average 350 with bursts up to 800+.

“Cat 7” is not a real thing. It’s just high-spec 6A, and the higher spec doesn’t do anything for Ethernet speeds because 10GBaseT is already supported with plain old Cat6A or even Cat6 at shorter distances.
cat5e can handle 1gbe, 2.5gbe, 5gb and 10gbe over short distances...
i did find that i got a more reliable/stable connection plugging my fiber media converter into a 10g port rather than a 1gb port on one of my switches. your mileage may vary but it’s worth a try
