Replaced the cable so that shouldn't be of concern now. I need to check the netgear switch - I know it is Gigabit but not sure if it is a smart switch. I am betting not since it has been up there for a while. I am going to just bypass it and see how that works.
I have had 2 different routers (previous Netgear 9700) and it ripped no faster than my current unit and when I used the cisco direct connected to restore the back up it blazed right along. Maybe some setting in the router is an issue?
I do have the wireless off on the MBP as I was aware of that issue.
And here I have been living with 15 minute + rips forever. Ugh.
I really appreciate the input. Updates to follow

Finally had a chance to dig in and get at the cables and switch. Turns out the switch was bad or at least inconsistent for whatever reason. Once I replaced the main cable it did seem to work better but once I bypassed the switch it was vastly improved. Replaced the switch with a Cisco and it continues to work significantly faster than previously. Maybe the Netgear switch was bad or incompatible in some way but clearly was the issue.
Problem solved.
I appreciate all the input.
