Experiencing very slow network throughput on my linux Fedora 28 box.
Barely getting over 4 MB/s down (~39 Mbps) using speedtest-cli, I can sometimes get near 8 MB/s down using wget to download test file.
The more serious problem is this issue seems to effect local intranet was well.
Transferring files from windows to linux Samba share (NVMe, xfs) via copy/paste through windows explorer (network share) results in the same or worse speeds.
I've also tried just copying a single zip file, same results.
I can transfer files very fast locally on the linux machine (between NVMe, SSD, HDD, with differing schemes including ext4, xfs, ntfs).
When downloading from outside my network to my windows PC, I get ~30 MB/s (~250 Mbps) down. So I know both cable and modem/router can handle throughput.
So if not modem/router, and not disks, this seems to me all that remains is network / interface on the linux machine.... from lspci -v I see the ethernet controllers are using kernel driver tg3
However, I'm uncertain as to where to start in troubleshooting / remedying this...
I've also found this post which seems like similar situation (not include VPN nonsense).
As mentioned, I tried updating my /etc/resolv.conf to use public DNS (1.1.1.1, 8.8.8.8, etc), but same result.
