The cable goes into the phone and then out of the phone into the computer.  
That switch in the phone is 10Mbit so the computer ends up on 10Mbit too.  
Perhaps the best way to avoid this is to join all the phones together 
since they are all 10Mbit anyway, so you will then just need one extra 
ethernet socket in the room for all the telephones.
