[SOLVED] Internet connection is slower on Arch

My download speed on the Arch is much slower than on Debian. Most of the online tests show that on Arch I have download speed around 30 Mbps while on Debian it's around 90 Mbps. Upload speed, however, is fine and on both Debian and Arch somewhere around 90 Mbps.
I'm using Network Manager.

Initially, it was configured by the network manager, I changed it to look like this, but this didn't help.

ethtool enp3s0

?

Re: [SOLVED] Internet connection is slower on Arch

Advertised auto-negotiation: No
Speed: 100Mb/s
Duplex: Half
ethtool -s enp3s0 autoneg on

You may have to explicitly reconnect.
If autonegotiation fails due to the other side, try setting duplex and speed directly ("ethtool -h", see "-s" options)

Re: [SOLVED] Internet connection is slower on Arch

You may have to explicitly reconnect.

Thank you very much! That helped!

So, the solution was

sysctl net.ipv4.tcp_ecn=0

And then explicitly reconnect?

Re: [SOLVED] Internet connection is slower on Arch

Hum?
ethtool says the autonegotiation between your NIC and the router didn't happen and you're left w/ a half-duplex 100MBit connection (what explains your results)
I'm not sure whether that was caused by the Explicit Congestion Notification, but if deactivating that alone caused proper autonegotiation and connection (after the reconnect) you can (and should) set that with an entry in /etc/sysctl.d/ (the sysctl change won't survive a reboot)

Re: [SOLVED] Internet connection is slower on Arch

Systemd stopped setting net.ipv4.tcp_ecn = 1 with v240 which was overriding the kernel default of net.ipv4.tcp_ecn = 2 which generally did not cause issues.

Re: [SOLVED] Internet connection is slower on Arch

Hmm, now that I reconnected 

Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes
Speed: 100Mb/s
Duplex: Full

That makes me think that this problem might've appeared after I connected to openvpn server.
Could it be related?

Re: [SOLVED] Internet connection is slower on Arch

It's certainly not impossible - try to reproduce it ;-)
