AT&T came today to connect their router to the ONT device. Installer connects two fragments of cat 6 with scotchlocks. Do they really expect gigabit to work over this? Am I being silly?

Your installer is either an idiot or just lazy. That yellow cable is a premade patch cable with stranded wire. The white one is at least copper clad aluminum but at least solid. This moron connected them with scotch locks. Like a few others have said he should have just terminated the end of the white cable. He saw your job as an easy complete but you should call back and give him a repeat. Repeats within 30 days hurt the techs numbers.
