This is slightly incorrect. 1000BASE-X is only capable of operating at
gigabit speed, not at 100M or 10M.
The PHY _might_ signal the copper side pause resolution via the
1000BASE-X negotiation word, and even rarer would be whether operating
at 1G FD or 1G HD.
Out of the two, only SGMII is capable of operating at 1G, 100M and 10M,
FD or HD. No pause resolution is passed. SGMII is not an 802.3 defined
protocol, it's an adaption of 1000BASE-X by Cisco.

FTTP is here! 40Mbps down 10Mbps up. Decent connectivity at last!
