MSI Z77 G43 mobo help!

[tak1985]

Hi guys, not sure if its the correct place to ask. I assembled a rig a few months back using the MSI Z77 G43 gaming mobo. All's fine till I recently signed M1 300 MBPS plan. Didnt get the speed I signed up for so I called up M1. They checked and say my LAN card is not gigabit and can't support the 300 MBPS speed.

They asked me to check under Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Centre > Change adapter settings > Local Area Network > Properties > Configure > Advanced > Speed & Duplex, and the drop down is only showing 100 MBPS options.

I thought G43 LAN is gigabit and should support till 1000 MBPS. I have tried updating the drivers but still the same. Any advice?
