It's at gigabit:

em0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
        options=219b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM,TSO4,WOL_MAGIC>
        ether 00:15:17:31:c8:fe
        inet xxxxxxx
        media: Ethernet autoselect (1000baseT <full-duplex>)
        status: active
