internet speed

I pay for and get 100mb when i hard wire my lap top directly into my gigabit router. I am using a 10ft cat.5e wire. When i use a 45ft cat5e wire i only get 20 mbs. This seams like a awful amount of loss for an additional 35 ft of cable.  I have used more than one cable and have gotten the same results. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi Paw Paw, are they new cables? Or cables that have been in use before? Do you have any other computer that you can test the connection using the 45' cable?

Thanks MichaelJ for the help. The cables are new. I tried another computer and got speeds ranging form 90--118. So I guess its the computer. I'm not sure what to do about that but al least I know the problem is not the cable.
