Arch's internet connection is slow.

So a few days ago I posted about how to disable IPV6 because I thought it was slowing my internet. I have finally gotten that to work and it hasn't helped as my internet connection is much slower than on Debian based distros (My windows install is currently broken so I can't test with that right now). I have also tried Manjaro and I get the same speeds as I do on Arch so I guess it has something to do with arch.
So here is some information I saw being asked for on some other forum posts:

Re: Arch's internet connection is slow.

Post the output of :

ip link
cat /sys/class/net/eno1/duplex
cat /sys/class/net/eno1/speed

The above assume your NIC's name is eno1.  Modify those commands as necessary with your NIC's name as reported by ip link

Re: Arch's internet connection is slow.

@ewaller I saw that could be a problem on another post and I made sure that it was it was on full and 1000. I did try turn auto-negotiation (I think it was called that) on and off. I got better performance when it was on, I don't know if that's helpful though.

Re: Arch's internet connection is slow.

Have you tried linux-lts?

That r8169 driver is awful anyway so perhaps r8168 is the way forward (with a non-LTS kernel).

Re: Arch's internet connection is slow.

It's supposed to be no longer "1" but there's another recent thread pointing to this being the cause, so try to explicitly set it to "0":

Re: Arch's internet connection is slow.

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/ke … gain.patch mentions performance
Edit:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/ke … -rtl.patch mentions latency.
Does slow mean lower throughput or increased latency or both in this case?

Re: Arch's internet connection is slow.

@Head_on_a_Stick how would I go about installing the old driver the aur link doen't have the normal git clone link? I haven't come across this before.

Re: Arch's internet connection is slow.

@loqs slow means low throughput means as in 25ish Mbps rather than 80Mbps, the ping is also a little high 5-15 ms worse, which I think is basically nothing.

It's not an AUR link, the package is in [community] smile
