There could be a few reasons for this issue. Here are some steps you can try to resolve the problem:

Check your Ethernet cable: Make sure your Ethernet cable is not damaged and is capable of supporting the full speed of your connection.

Check your network settings: Ensure that your network settings are configured correctly. Open the Settings application and navigate to Network. From there, select the Ethernet connection and check if the settings are correct.

Check your router settings: Make sure that your router is configured correctly to support high-speed connections. Check if there are any QoS (Quality of Service) settings enabled on your router, as this can sometimes limit your network speed.

Check your network driver: Ensure that your network driver is up-to-date and compatible with Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. You can check this by running the command "lspci -v" in the terminal to see the details of your network interface card.

Check for any network traffic: Sometimes other applications or processes can consume your network bandwidth. Use the "iftop" command in the terminal to monitor your network traffic and identify any applications or processes that may be using your bandwidth.

Contact your internet service provider: If none of the above steps resolve the issue, contact your internet service provider (ISP) and inform them about the problem. They may be able to provide further assistance in resolving the issue.

Hopefully, these steps will help you to resolve the issue and achieve the full speed of your internet connection on your Ubuntu PC.
