i226-v low internet download (internal network is max speed)

[ualex]

I have a NUC13 with a i226v 2.5Gbit/sec NIC, running on 1Gbit/sec. Proxmox 8 is installed, with the latest kernel. My internet is 1Gbit/sec down/up. All testing is down directly on the Proxmox itself, no VM. On my other NUC8 the speed is always 1Gbit/sec down/up, whatever I do.
When I use scp between 2 nodes, the speed is 1Gbit/sec, as expected. If I run "speedtest-cli" download is normally 200 Mbit/sec and upload is 900+ Mbit/sec.

When I download something from the internet, it "only" goes up to 22-30Mbit/sec.

Do I need to configure the i226-v driver in a certain way to get maximum download?

The speed results are below:

I found a workaround, by editing the /etc/default/grub file (run update-grub ) and append to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT the following:
pcie_port_pm=off pcie_aspm.policy=performance

I have the same problem and your GRUB change had an improvement but not as good as it should be. I cannot see why LAN speed is fine internet speed tests are limited.
