I have a weird issue where I get virtually zero upload speed but only when connecting via ethernet, WiFi works fine.
e.g. Computer on WiFi gets 20/5 Mbps up/down
Same computer on Ethernet gets 30/0.5
My connection has a maximum of about 30/8 according to the modem which is what I expect. The same problem persists on 2 different modem/routers and I think two different ISPs... I never explicitly noticed it but the symptoms were there in hindsight.
One interesting(?) point is that running speed-test on ethernet, the upload test sets at 0.0 for the first 2-3s then bounces up to .5. On WiFi, there is no such 'lag'.
As well as any advice how to fix it, I'm really curious just what could be the root cause... a fix will probably involve finding where the issue is but not how it causes the specific problem that download is fine but upload is slow. Because as I understand it ethernet cable doesn't have 2 unidirectional links?
