Q: 7. why cant i get more than about 110 MBPS on a 1 gig service?

A: When you say 110 MBPS, do you mean bytes per second (usually denoted with a capital B ) or bits per second (usually denoted with a lower case b)? 110 MB/sec is 880 Mb/sec, which is quite reasonable on a gigabit network (1000 Mb/sec is the theoretical maximum, which you rarely approach). If on the other hand you mean 110 megabits/sec, something is wrong and you should check the following:1) is the adapter connecting at gigabit (Gb) speed on your network? There is are two LEDs on the adapter where the Ethernet cable attaches; make sure that the amber LED is on. If it isn't, you're not connecting to the switch at Gb speed.2) are you using a CAT 6 cable? CAT 5 will attenuate the speed.
