This may be better suited to /r/networking but I'll give it a shot:

We're a quickly growing small business that relies heavily on our network infrastructure. As we grow we are continually moving people around and adding/repurposing lines. Our office is composed of three major sections, New Office, Old Office, and Warehouse.

When we did our most recent expansion (The New Office) we relocated our server room and had all the wire in the new space ripped out and replaced as well as certified with a Fluke DTX. That side of the office is fine and has well documented patch panels and port maps. The old side of the office has what I kindly refer to as a "Rasta-Bundle". Whoever installed the wiring (it pre-dates our tenancy in the building) used every conceivable color (though mostly red, yellow, and green) and length of Cat 5 (some is 5E). Wires go into the ceiling in every direction and in some cases are spliced in the ceiling.

Ideally as we grow we're going to want to be able to identify bad wires and could use a general idea of the condition of the wires that are in the wall (and if necessary pay to have them replaced). Would we be better off buying something like a Fluke Link Runner to have on hand (or is there something better?) in the future or is renting a Fluke DTX for ~400$ for a week to gauge how bad it is now a better plan?

This thing is great to figure out where wall jacks and patches connect to switches lets you know the vlan switch port ect. We got it last summer and I don't know how we lived with out. I know it is not software but this combined with a spread sheets has treated us really well.

It isn't made in large enough numbers to "arrive" and be stocked anywhere here, you just order from them and they ship overseas.

It's about 75% of the power of a LinkRunner AT 1000 tester (retail ~$1k - this used to be a Fluke product before they sold this sub-division off to Netscout) for about 20% of the price. 168 Euro plus 22 Euro to ship to the US, which puts it around $217-220 depending on the exchange rate.

-_-

hmmm....

Then all I can recommend to you is...

Verify with your ISP what you pay for, keeping in mind that they measure speed in mega BITS persecond, and your PC measures it in megaBYTES per second. Conversion is easy megaBITS/8 = megaBYTES. So 100mbps / 8 = 12.5MBps
Get a cable tester. This one only verifies physical connection, won't verify link speed. this one does that
Go buy a brand new cat 6 Ethernet long enough to suit your needs. Install it, and see if the problem still exists.
try a different port on your router or switch.
