Ditto, and I might add, some VoIP phones, their integrated switch, doesn't well handle even 100 Mbps. I.e. the VoIP phone might be even further throttling the downstream PC.
BTW, another approach, might be to use an unmanaged switch out at the VoIP phone and PC. I recall some vendor made a wall jack switch (i.e. two [or four?] wall jack ports were switched to a single uplink).
If you already have the cable runs, an inexpensive solution would be to run the VoIP phone connections to a FE switch with a gig uplink to your main switch.
Before trying either, split one of your VoIP phones and PC and see if the PC performance is noticeably better.
