#24 looks like a cross cable and a lot of switches recognize this. that cable is probs not your problem.
I've seen worse though. An electrician who put the strands in at random. Still the cable, kinda, worked. Lots of packet loss, but nothing the user noticed:)
Yeah, you're right. Beeing a cross-over cables means its probably pretty old though, maybe CAT 3, which would mean 16MBit/s maximum and unshielded at that. So changing it probably fixed his problem for the wrong reason

Had it sitting right next to the chlorine storage did we?

no, it's cat 5 alright. but 100mbit. if brown and green were switched it would be a swap cable supporting gigabit.
plus: this connector is shielded. But a widely made mistake is to use shielded and connect it on both sides, causing current-loops and sh!t.
