It's only the NTE that is restricted, the lines and the media converters are good for way more 👍.

the NTE isnt the restriction, its the router (Cisco).
The NTE is the bit of equipment where the fibre is terminated on.

Depending on the fibre (and length ofc), it can be capable of up to 100gb.

IIRC*, WAN throughput of a 2900 is less that 100Mbps; it's not until you hit the 4000 series that it'll be capable of gigabit throughputs.
* Better off talking with your Cisco representative as they keep exact figures pretty hush hush.
Mate there is a PDF publishing the PPS rates for routing and switching gear... for the last 8 years. No one is going to buy anything if the vendor isn't going to say how much it can push.
This? https://www.cisco.com/web/partners/downloads/765/tools/quickreference/routerperformance.pdf
do you even have to ask

ANYWAY, continuing the 10gbe upgrade this week, doing our san nodes this time (HP).... first one went fine sadly the second one has brought up an issue with the disks so waiting for HP to whizz over some disks so I can continue. The way their SAN software is made, when I bring the node back online with the 10gbe interfaces its going to want to completely rebuild the array, so may aswell do the disks at the same time and save myself another unnecessary rebuild.

Packaged a load of software today such as AirServer, some lego shit etc. Ready to start building computers and laptops tomorrow.
Oh, installed a new switch in place of a crappy 3Com pile of crap. I'm still amazed at places that still aren't gigabit to desktop.

A lot of manufacturers will list them but I've never seen Cisco openly state details like that; granted, I'm not entirely au fait with Cisco products.

You can attempt to incorrectly justify your comment however you want but a 100Mb circuit is a 100Mb circuit; if it was a Gb circuit/bearer then you'd be right 
Although if you thought you'd jump to Gb then I'm not sure why you didn't do 100 over Gb?

I meant you had to post it and ask if that was the docco, which it clearly was. soz! AFAIK its always been posted and I've been touching cisco stuff for 10 years.

I'm not sure which bit you don't understand? We've got two lines good for 1gb+ we're only paying for a 100mb connection..

The fact you stated you've got a 100Mb barer and then continuously state you've got a Gb line - barer and bandwidth are not the same, in that the barer is the max. line speed and the bandwidth is 'whatever' up to that eg - 20Mb, 50Mb, 100Mb over 100Mb; or 200Mb over 1Gb etc.
I can only assume you're either confused with terminology or what you've actually got
You've either got a 100Mb barer or a Gb barer and you're doing 100Mb over it. Either way, changing circuits requires 'gear' changes and typically it isn't the most cost effective way of doing things.
Are both lines 'lit'?

Fair enough. As said, can't say i've seen throughput protocol break-downs publicly available from Cisco and in the past i've had to ask representatives for that information.

That's going to be some pretty shit Fibre if it can only support 100MB... Think about what you're saying

We're talking leased lines, not theoretical limits of fibre optics!
If you've got a 100Mb barer then you're not going beyond that without a circuit/bearer change (usually a bearer is either 10/100/1000/10000Mb) and this requires a bit more than a simple config change and usually ends up with a new contract/agreement. Obviously you can change your bandwidth over the bearer, so 20/100, 50/100 etc, but the max. throughput/bandwidth of the line is the barer link connection.
Which is why if you're going for a 100Mb connection, then typically you'd spec it on a 1000Mb barer as it's vastly easier, and possibly cheaper, to increase the bandwidth beyond this.
The physically fibre cable between NTE/ONT* will be rated a lot higher, this is just stating the obvious , but your connection is not Gb in anyway shape or form if it's a 100Mb bearer. If you had a 1000/10000Mb bearer then sure.
Either way, i am trying to give you the benefit of the doubt but in typical knuckle-dragger Davey fashion, you're continuously being balshy on a subject you seem to be struggling at 
However, i'd really recommend that you read around lease lines (nice little jargon buster for you), specifically circuits/bearer and bandwidth, as not only is it an interesting subject but you'll actually understand the product you have.
* As Willay mentions, the router/firewall typically governs the bandwidth on the line; and iirc (could be wrong), the NTE/ONT governs the overall line speed/bearer.
Edit - Bringing this all back on topic, in a few weeks i'm going to be implementing a full Mac network with OSX Server.....FML

I think we've established that Davey has a 100MB link on 1GB barer, the Cisco will be up to the job of that

All I know is I can phone BT now and they'll bump it to 1GB and we'll get a fat invoice..

And they will have to send you a new router to deal with that.

If it's just a bandwidth increase then as Pow says, it'll be a Gb bearer. If that's the case then at least the invoice won't be as bad as having to get the circuit changed - i've seen this happen and the provider attempted to charge the full installation cost of a Gb circuit, slight pee-take when the fibre was already blown into the building and terminated.
Just out of curiosity, was there a particular reason for going with BT directly over a different supplier?

I wonder what BT do send out for Gb links
