I'm experiencing a frustrating issue with my internet speed. Although I pay for a 300 Mbps plan, I'm only getting between 80-100 Mbps, even when connected via Ethernet. I've gone through the advanced settings on my Ethernet configuration and updated everything I could think of, but nothing helps. I'm really hoping someone has a solution to this problem!

It sounds like a hardware issue to me. Check your network card, switch, or router—if any of those are limited to 100 Mbps, that would explain the cap you're hitting. Also, make sure your Ethernet cable is at least Cat 5e or higher. If you're using an older cable, that might be your problem!
Good point! I recommend getting a new Ethernet cable just to be sure. You can find a cheap one at a local store, and it'll be a quick test to see if that's the issue.
Make sure to check your link speed settings. Sometimes, the connection might be accidentally set to 100 Mbps. Here’s a quick guide to help you check that: [link image]
I agree! If the hardware can’t handle gigabit speeds, you’re stuck at 100 Mbps. It's worth investigating all your hardware.
