Weird Fiber/Speed Issue

I have a customer who is on rather slow internet as it is at their main office that has fiber ran from that office to 3 buildings about 500-600 yards away. The 3 buildings are close to each other so we have fiber coming into the first building plugged into a switch and then cat6 outdoor ran to the other 2 buildings..

The first building that has the fiber uplink is insanely slow BUT the other 2 buildings run at the speed I would expect from their ISP.

How could this be? I would think the switch that has the shortest route to the host building would at least be the same speed as the others..

Tried different switches, gbics, etc... I have no clue.
