Gigabit over CAT5?

We have several floors here and have just deployed cloud based VoIP. All floors are CAT6 and the VoIP mostly works correctly. On one floor, they have lots of quality problems, video stuttering etc... Their floor is all CAT5. Testing with a proper Fluke, the lines pass CAT5 testing, but fail CAT6.

All workstations are connecting at 1gbps.

Is it possible that the cause of our problems is related to the cabling? Would it be prudent force the ports to 100mbps.?
