first thought was - does he have a 100MBs port in there
somewhere. E.g. someone installed a 10/100 switch or hub
between your computer and your Comcast DSL (I assume) line -
and that includes the modem. (I had mine increased over 100
a while back, but only got 100 until I got a new modem that
wasn’t 10/100! … oops)<o:p></o:p></span></p>

It's not DSL, but cable. The cable comes into the apartment and
connects to my modem which connects to my router and from there to
my computer. The modem is capable of 343Mbps down and has a gigabit
ethernet connection. The router is a gigabit router. The same
setup got me 150 Mbps in June. Comcast is such a fustercluck that
it wouldn't surprise me if somebody set the modem to 100Mbps and
nobody else knows about it.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Back in June comcast raised my connection
speed to 150Mbps. Two weeks ago it went back down to 100. I
called to complain and was told I was supposed to be getting
100Mbps. I finally got someone to admit that my connection
speed should be 150, but I'm still getting 100. <br>
<br>
I didn't make any changes to the network, but something could
have gotten changed. Is there anything i can look in network
settings to determine if something could be tweaked for a
faster connection?<br>
<br>
I have an Arris SB6141 modem and an ASUS RT-ACRH13 gigabit
router. The modem (SB6141) supports speeds up to 343Mbps
down. KDE's network manager shows the MTU setting is set to
Automatic and the box is checked to allow auto negotiation.<br>
<br>
I did install Kubuntu 18 after the increase to 150Mbps. The
speed did not drop until a month or so after Kubuntu 18 was
installed.<br>
<br>
Since the installation, the ethernet connection is no longer
called eth0. Now it's called enp4s1. Is that some new way of
naming network devices? I don't really care what it calls the
parts as long as they work. I can still use netwatch, but I
have to give it the enp4s1 string as it expects eth0 unless
told differently.<br>
