Unsure if cable is OK

I recently was experiencing some microstuttering when playing games like CS and I recently went from ethernet to wifi for about 2 months since I moved my room, and haven't had any issues until a few days ago. I noticed that the Fiber cable going to the ATT model was routed not a way that the installer put the cable so someone in my house moved the cable. I followed the cable to see if there were any bends, and I noticed it was being wedged between something and created a dent in the cable. I have Gigabit internet and have an asus router that shows me speeds going directly to the router. When i used to be hardwired it was 850/900 Down and Up. Running test now shows 650/750 range. Would this Dent in the cable be enough to cause the issues im having?
